LABEL DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear
Threshold To Send) handshake.
Enter a value between 0 and 2347.
Fragmentation This is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 2346.
Threshold
Output Power Set the output power of the Zyxel Device. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease
the output power to reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following: 20%, 40%,
60%, 80% or 100%.
Beacon Interval When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval. This
specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again.
The interval tells receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low power mode
before waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be set from 50 ms to 1000 ms. A high
value helps save current consumption of the access point.
DTIM Interval Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and
Multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Power Saving mode. A high DTIM
value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. This value can be set from 1 to
255.
802.11 Mode For 2.4 GHz frequency WiFi devices:
• Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select 802.11n Only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select 802.11b/g Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WiFi devices
to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced.
• Select 802.11b/g/n Mixed to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might
be reduced.
802.11 Protection Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks (networks with both
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).
Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS handshake. This helps
improve IEEE 802.11g performance.
Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced in a mixed-mode network.
This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b Only.
Preamble Select a preamble type from the drop-down list box. Choices are Long or Short. See
8.6.6 on page 109
This field is configurable only when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b.
Protected WiFi with Protected Management Frames (PMF) provides protection for unicast and Multicast
Management management action frames. Unicast management action frames are protected from both
Frames eavesdropping and forging, and Multicast management action frames are protected from
forging. Select Capable if the WiFi client supports PMF, then the management frames will be
encrypted. Select Required to force the WiFi client to support PMF; otherwise the
authentication cannot be performed by the Zyxel Device. Otherwise, select Disabled.
Auto Switch Off Click this to enable Auto Switch Off and configure the next field.
Auto Switch Off Select 0,15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes from the drop down menu. The default setting is 30 minutes.
Interval Select 0 minute to disable the Auto Switch Off Interval.
