5.5 Advanced Settings

Advanced Settings affect Wi-Fi performance. The settings help you to obtain the maximum

rate through optimal access performance.

To configure the advanced settings, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Wi-Fi > Advanced Settings.

2. Set Channel.

Auto indicates that the channel with the best signal quality is selected.

3. Set 802.11n bandwidth.

If this parameter is set to 20MHz, 802.11n supports only 20 MHz bandwidth.

If this parameter is set to 20/40MHz, 802.11n supports 20 MHz or 40 MHz

bandwidth.

4. Set Transmit power.

If this parameter is set to 100%, the Wi-Fi client transmits at full power.

If this parameter is set to 80%, 60%, or 40%, the Wi-Fi client transmits signals at

low power. The Wi-Fi client located far away from the CPE may fail to access the

CPE.

5. Set WMM to Enable.

Wi- Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification based on the

IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic quality of service (QoS) features for IEEE 802.11

networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four access categories (AC): voice, video,

best effort, and background. However, WMM does not provide guaranteed throughput. WMM

applies to simple applications that require QoS, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) on Wi-Fi

phones.

5.6 WDS

The CPE supports the wireless distribution system (WDS). All Wi-Fi devices in a WDS must

be configured to use the same radio channel, encryption mode, SSID, and encryption key. You

can set the WDS encryption mode to NONE or WPA/WPA2. If you set the WDS encryption

mode to NONE, the Wi-Fi clients can use NONE or WEP encryption mode. If you set the

WDS encryption mode to WPA/WPA2-PSK, the Wi-Fi clients can use WPA/WPA2-PSK

encryption mode. After WDS is enabled, disable DHCP on CPEs that are not directly

connected to the WAN port.

If WDS is enabled, the WPS function will not take effect. If the channel is set to

Auto, go to the Advanced Settings page to set the channel.

To configure the WDS, perform the following steps:
