Wireless Radio
Select the desired radio from the list.
Radio 1 is for 2.4 GHz, and Radio 2 is for 5 GHz.
Worldwide Mode
(802.11d)
Worldwide Mode (802.11d) enables the access point
to direct connected wireless devices to radio settings
specific to where in the world the devices are in use.
Channel Bandwidth
Select the designed channel bandwidth for the
wireless radio.
20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n
wireless devices.
20/40MHz - Select if you are using both 802.11n and
non-802.11n wireless devices.
20/40/80MHz - Select if you are using 802.11ac,
802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.
Guard Interval
Select the guard interval manually for Wireless-N
connections. The two options are Short (400
nanoseconds) and Long (800 nanoseconds). The
default is Auto.
CTS Protection
Mode
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode boosts the
access point's ability to catch all Wireless-G
transmissions, but it severely decreases
performance. By default, CTS Protection Mode is
disabled, but the access point will automatically
enable this feature when Wireless-G devices are not
able to transmit to the access point in an environment
with heavy 802.11b traffic.
Beacon Interval
The access point transmits beacon frames at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless
network. Enter the interval between the
transmissions of beacon frames. The value range is
between 40 and 1000 milliseconds and default is
100 milliseconds.
