Configuration Considerations
10.4.1
Simultaneous AP and Local Mesh
A radio can be configured to simultaneously support wireless clients and the creation of one or more
local meshes. Although this offers flexibility it does have several limitations as follows:
It reduces overall throughput since the total available bandwidth is shared between the local
meshes and wireless users.
It limits you to using the same radio options for both wireless clients and local meshes.
10.4.2
Maximum Range
The Maximum range setting on the Wireless > Radio(s) page can be used to fine tune internal
timeout settings to account for the distance that a local mesh link spans. For normal operation, the
timeout is optimized for links of less than 1 km.
NOTE
This is a global setting that applies to all wireless connections made with a radio, not just for local
mesh links. Therefore, if you are also using a radio to serve local wireless users, adjusting this
setting may lower the performance for users with marginal signal strength or when interference is
present. (Essentially, it means that if a frame needs to be retransmitted it will take longer before the
actual retransmit takes place.)
