There are 6 modes: 2.4GHz (B), 2.4GHz (G), 2.4GHz (N), 2.4GHz (B+G), 2.4GHz (G+N), and 2.4GHz (B+G+N) mode. Default : 2.
Mode - AP: The AP functions as a wireless hub to which wireless clients can connect. The clients must make sure that they are configured to match the AP’s wireless settings. The AP must be connected to switch or other LAN segment patch cable. - WDS: WDS operation as defined by the IEEE802.11 standard has been made available. Using WDS it is possible to wirelessly connect Access Points, and in doing so extend a wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement.
Domain Region The Domain Region decides what channels are available for your country. Please note that using the incorrect Domain Region is strictly prohibited. If you live in United States, you must use the FCC Domain Region. If you live inside EU, you must use ETSI domain. Domain Region Available Channels FCC (U.S.
WMM The short of Wi-Fi Multi-Media, it will enhance the data transfer performance of multimedia contents when they’re being transferred over wireless network. Default : Enable (Unavailable) Data Rate The Data Rate is the rate of data transmission for 802.11b/g/n clients. The Access Point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.

Enable Multiple APs Check the checkbox to enable the Multiple AP/SSID. Up to 4 SSIDs for each BSS can be entered in the filed SSID. The name can be up to 32 characters. The same name (SSID) must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. If Enable VLAN is checked, the wireless stations connecting to SSID of different VID can not communicate with each other. VLAN Settings Entries in below table are used to config vlan settings.
Enable VLAN VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) refers to a group of logically networked devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very flexible for user/host management. VID Provide a number between 1 and 4090 for VLAN. This will cause the AP to send packets with VLAN tags.
Fragment Threshold “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. Default : 2346 RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Default : 2347 Beacon Interval The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
IAPP Inter-Access Point Protocol is a recommendation that describes an optional extension to IEEE 802.11 that provides wireless access-point communications among multivendor systems. Default : Enable Protection It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations.
Select SSID If assigned multiple AP feature, you could choose the SSID that want to setup encryption function. Encryption Select the data privacy algorithm you want. Enabling the security can protect your data while it is transferred from one station to another. Default : Disable 802.1x Authentication Check Box was used to switch the function of the 802.1X.
