Channel: (Shows if Random Channel is deselected.) The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to
communicate with other devices. The range is 1 to 11, and 1, 6, and 11 do not overlap each other. If a WiMAX modem is
attached, a higher number channel will increase the chance the router's WiFi and modem's WiMAX radios will conflict with
each other, which may result in lower throughput. Select a channel from the dropdown list:
 1 (2412 MHz)
 2 (2417 MHz)
 3 (2422 MHz)
 4 (2427 MHz)
 5 (2432 MHz)
 6 (2437 MHz)
 7 (2442 MHz)
 8 (2447 MHz)
 9 (2452 MHz)
 10 (2457 MHz)
 11 (2462 MHz)
Client Timeout: If the access point is not able to communicate with the client it will disconnect it after this timeout (in
seconds).
TX Power: Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a
need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions
from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area.
RTS Threshold: When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be
improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin
to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting
should remain at its default value.
Fragmentation Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the
presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater
than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value. Setting the Fragmentation value too low
may result in poor performance.
