– 56 –

Mbps respectively and ensures backward compliance for slower

802.11b devices. (Default: 40MHz)

◆ Control Sideband — Specifies if the extension channel should be in

the Upper or Lower sideband. When a 40MHz channel bandwidth has

been set, the extension channel option will be enabled in the upper or

lower sideband. The extension channel allows you to get extra

bandwidth.

◆ Channel Number — The radio channel that the ADSL Router uses to

communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are

deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access

points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other.

For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area

using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the

channel to the same as that used by the ADSL Router to which it is

linked. (Default: Auto; Range: 1~11)

◆ Radio Power (percent) — Adjusts the power of the radio signals

transmitted from the access point. The higher the transmission power,

the farther the transmission range. Power selection is not just a trade

off between coverage area and maximum supported clients. You also

have to ensure that high-power signals do not interfere with the

operation of other radio devices in the service area. (Default: 100%;

Range: 100%, 80%, 50%, 25%, 10%)

◆ Associated Clients — Opens a window that displays information on

current connected wireless clients.
