ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302 Reference Manual (802.11a/g)

–

Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel used. This allows you to

choose a channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the

USA and Canada, 13 channels are available.

–

If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different

channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent

access points is 8 channels (for example, use channels 36 and 44, or 44 and 52).

–

In "Infrastructure" mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an

access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest

signal is used. This can only occur when the various access points are using the same

SSID.

•

Data Rate. From the pull-down menu, select the transmit data rate of the wireless

network. The possible data rates supported are: 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24

Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, and 54 Mbps. The default is Best.

•

Output Power. From the pull-down menu, select the transmit power of the access point.

The options are Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, and Min. Decrease the transmit power if two

or more APs are close together and use the same channel frequency. The default is Full.

(The transmit power may vary depending on the local regulatory regulations.
