Chapter 2 - Management

Station Isolation: Prevents station-to-station communication, unchecked by default. When Station
Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic
through the AP. When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless
clients on the same AP.

Maximum Stations: Specifies the maximum number of associated stations, the default being 127.

Minimum Stations RSSI: Sets the minimum received signal strength indicator for a station to be
associated. The default value of 0 means that the AP would allow a station to associate independent
of its RSSI.

802.11n Only: Forces the device to use only the IEEE802.11n standard, unchecked by default.

HT 20/40 Coexistence: Allows the network to use both 20 MHz and 40 MHz bands. Required on AP
side primarily to support co-existence. The station can also send intolerant bit status to AP to signal
use of 20 MHz channel. The station follows the AP's channel bonding and channel switching HT
20/40 mechanism. Disabling this setting forces the use of 40 MHz bandwidth/channel bonding, and
results in high data rate.

WMM: Provides Quality of Service (QoS) features, checked by default. Wireless multimedia enables
the classification of the network traffic into 4 main types, voice, video, best effort, and background,
in decreasing order of priority. Higher priority traffic has a higher transmission opportunity and would
have to wait less time to transmit. As a result, an existing video stream would not be interrupted by
additional background processes.
