Specifies the frequency band used to transmit the wireless data. The available bandwidths
are 20 MHz and 40 MHz.
By default, Current Bandwidth is set to 40MHz. To configure, select a value from the drop
down menu.
: Set the current bandwidth to 20 MHz, to enable the legacy operational modes of
802.11a or 802.11g.
:
• When AP device operates with a channel bandwidth of 40 MHz (i.e. Dynamic
20/40 Mode) and finds the extension channel is busy, then AP will
dynamically use 20 MHz bandwidth. This avoids unnecessary retries at a
higher rate. Once, the extension channel is available, the device will switch
back to the 40 MHz channel bandwidth.
• If a VAP is enabled in WDS mode, see
This parameter enables the AP device to determine the best channel for wireless data
transmission with less interference.
By default, Auto Channel Selection is disabled. To enable, select Enable from the drop
down menu. When enabled, the AP device scans all the available channels and selects the
best channel to establish a connection.
: When the AP device detects RADAR on the current operating channel, the Auto
Channel Selection gets enabled automatically though it is disabled.
This parameter is applicable only when the Auto Channel Selection is enabled and it
displays the current active channel on the wireless interface.
This parameter is applicable only when the Auto Channel Selection is disabled and the
Radio Mode is set to AP. This parameter enables the user to select the current operating
channel for the wireless interface. For more details on the available frequency domains and

channels, refer to
To configure, select the Current Operating Channel from the drop down menu.
: When you select the current operating channel, its corresponding frequency is
displayed on the right-side of the drop down menu.
Specifies the RTS (Request-to-Send) threshold value. If the size of the MPDU is of the
specified threshold value or greater than that, the AP device then uses the RTS mechanism
for data transmission.
By default, it is 2346. To configure, enter a value ranging from 1 to 2346 in the RTS
Threshold box.
Specifies the interval between two successive beacons.
By default, it is 100ms. To configure, enter a value ranging from 100 to 1000ms in the
Beacon Interval box.
