802.11k standard allows faster roaming of clients between access
points within the same network. Clients supporting 802.11k standard
can request a list of neighbor access points with their signal levels
and Wi-Fi channel numbers. The device does not need to probe all of
the available channels, but selects an access point to roam to from
the list.
Move the switch to the right if you need to use 802.11k standard.
802.11v roaming allows improving the wireless client load
balancing.
If the wireless access point supports 802.11v standard, then with a
large number of devices connected to this point, a request may be
sent to some clients to switch to a less loaded point with the same
network parameters or to transfer from a loaded band to a freer band
(in case the SSID and security settings are the same in both
frequency bands) to improve operation of each client. The request is
advisory, upon that the device does not forcibly disconnect clients.
Move the switch to the right if you need to use 802.11v standard.
The switch is displayed if the Enable 802.11k switch is moved to
the right.
Available on the 2.4 GHz tab.
The 802.11b and 802.11g protection function is used to minimize
collisions between devices of your wireless network.
Select a value from the drop-down list.
Auto: The protection function is enabled and disabled
•
automatically depending on the state of the network (this
value is recommended if your wireless local area network
consists of both 802.11b and 802.11g devices).
Always On: The protection function is always enabled (this
•
setting can substantially lower the efficiency of your wireless
network).
