Change the Guard Interval for a Radio

The guard interval protects radio transmissions from interference. An automatic guard interval (which is the
default) improves performance, but some legacy devices can operate only with a long –800ns guard interval.
The guard interval and channel width determine the available MCS index and data transmit rates.
To change the guard interval for a radio:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
