Band Steering
Band Steering Enable or disable Band Steering function
Band Steering is a technology that detects whether
the wireless client is dual-band capable If it is, band
steering pushes the client to connect to the less-
congested 5 GHz network It does this by actively
blocking the client's attempts to connect with the
2 4GHz network
Isolation
Isolation between Define whether to isolate traffic between SSIDs If
SSIDs enabled, wireless clients in different SSIDs cannot
communicate with each other Enabled by default
Advanced Parameters
Wireless Radio
Select the desired radio from the list
Radio 1 is for 2 4 GHz, and Radio 2 is for 5 GHz
Worldwide Mode Worldwide Mode (802 11d) enables the access point
(802.11d) to direct connected wireless devices to radio settings
specific to where in the world the devices are in use
Channel Bandwidth Select the designed channel bandwidth for the
wireless radio
• 20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n
wireless devices
• 20/40MHz - Select if you are using both 802.11n
and non-802 11n wireless devices
• 20/40/80MHz - Select if you are using 802.11ac,
802 11n and non-802 11n wireless devices
Guard Interval
Select the guard interval manually for Wireless-N
connections
nanoseconds) and Long (800 nanoseconds) The
default is Auto
The two options are Short (400
CTS Protection
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode boosts the access
Mode point's ability to catch all Wireless-G transmissions, but
it severely decreases performance By default, CTS
Protection Mode is disabled, but the access point will
automatically enable this feature when Wireless-G
devices are not able to transmit to the access point in
an environment with heavy 802 11b traffic
Beacon Interval
The access point transmits beacon frames at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless
network Enter the interval between the transmissions
of beacon frames The value range is between 40 and
1000 milliseconds and default is 100 milliseconds
DTIM Interval
Enter the Delivery Traffic Information Map (DTIM)
period, an integer from 1 to 255 beacons The default
is 1 beacon
The DTIM message is an element included in some
beacon frames It indicates which client stations,
currently sleeping in low-power mode, have data
buffered on the access point await-ing pickup
The DTIM period that you specify indicates how often
the clients served by this WAP device should check for
buffered data still on the access point awaiting pickup
For example, if you enter 1, clients check for buffered
data on the access point at every beacon If you enter
10, clients check on every 10th beacon
