Description
When the link rate of wireless station is too low or the signal
received by the wireless station is too worse, VigorAP 910C will
automatically detect (based on the link rate and RSSI
requirement) and cut off the network connection for that wireless
station to assist it to connect another Wireless AP to get better
signal.
Minimum Basic Rate – Check the box to use the drop down list
to specify a basic rate (Mbps). When the link rate of the wireless
station is below such value, VigorAP 910C will terminate the
network connection for that wireless station.
Disable RSSI Requirement - If it is selected, VigorAP will not
terminate the network connection based on RSSI.
Strictly Minimum RSSI - VigorAP uses RSSI (received signal
strength indicator) to decide to terminate the network connection
of wireless station. When the signal strength is below the value
(dBm) set here, VigorAP 910C will terminate the network
connection for that wireless station.
Minimum RSSI - When the signal strength of the wireless
station is below the value (dBm) set here and adjacent AP (must
be DrayTek AP and support such feature too) with higher signal
strength value (defined in the field of With Adjacent AP RSSI
over) is detected by VigorAP 910C, VigorAP 910C will
terminate the network connection for that wireless station. Later,
