Low: 1-2 nearby access points
Medium: 3-4 nearby access points
High: 5 or more nearby access points

Advanced Wireless Settings
Use the Advanced Wireless Settings screen to configure the Transmit Rate, AP
Density, and Encryption Filter settings.
• Regulatory Domain - The Bridge’s Regulatory Domain is displayed here.
• Transmit Rate - The rate of data transmission should be set depending on
the speed of your wireless network. You can select a specific transmission
speed (1, 2, 1 or 2, 5.5, or 11Mbps), or keep the default setting, Automatic,
to have the Bridge automatically adjust the transfer speed for optimal per-
formance and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negoti-
ate the best possible connection speed between the Bridge and another
wireless-equipped device.
