option can make the SSID invisible from site survey tool. Enable this function only if you do not want the
Access Point to be found by others.
5) Suppress SSID
When you enable “Suppress SSID” function, SSID information will be removed from AP broadcast frame.
Thus, only those stations aware of the SSID can associate with AP. The default setting is disabled.
6) Security
By default, the security is disabled (No Security). Refer to the next section to configure the security features
such as WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
7) RTS Threshold
By default, the value is 2347. This setting determines how large a packet can be before the Access Point
coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication. This value should remain at its
default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are
recommended.
8) Tx Power
By default, the value is Full. Available selections of Transmit Power are Full, -3dB, -6dB and -9dB. Select the
appropriate Transmit Power according to the distance and environmental factor between AP to client.
9) WMM
Multimedia applications in a WiFi network require Quality of Service (QoS) functionality. The system default
enabled WMM QoS feature, and it will prioritize traffic and optimizes the way shared network resources
among different applications. It works well for data traffic from applications such as web browser, file
transfer, or email, but it is inadequate for multimedia applications. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP),
video streaming, and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to latency increases and throughput reductions,
and required to enable QoS feature. The QoS parameters is default according to IEEE 802.11e as Figure 22.
