DESCRIPTION
Select this option to make this profile active.
Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile's name.
Spaces and underscores are allowed.
This displays if the device is set to standalone mode.
Select AP+Bridge to have the radio function as an access point and bridge
simultaneously.
Select MBSSID to have the radio function as an access point with one or
more BSSIDs.
Select the wireless band which this radio profile should use.
2.4 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients.
5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11a/n wireless clients.
Select the wireless channel which this radio profile should use.
It is recommended that you choose the channel least in use by other APs in
the region where this profile will be implemented. This will reduce the amount
of interference between wireless clients and the AP to which this profile is
assigned.
This displays if the operating mode is set to AP+Bridge.
Select the SSID profile this radio profile uses.
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
Select Auto to allow the device to adjust the channel bandwidth depending
on network conditions.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless
devices in your neighborhood.
Set the guard interval for this radio profile to either short or long.
The guard interval is the gap introduced between data transmission from
users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the interval increases data
transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the interval reduces
data transfer rates but also reduces interference.
Select this to enable A-MPDU aggregation.
Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames
along with their 802.11n headers and wraps them in a 802.11n MAC header.
This method is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput in environments
that are prone to high error rates.
Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated.
Enter the maximum number of frames to be aggregated each time.
Select this to enable A-MSDU aggregation.
Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames without
any of their 802.11n headers and wraps the header-less payload in a single
802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for increasing bandwidth
throughput. It is also more efficient than A-MPDU except in environments that
are prone to high error rates.
Enter the maximum frame size to be aggregated.
