The Wireless - Advanced Wireless Settings Tab

This screen allows you to configure the advanced and load balancing settings for the Access
Point. The Wireless-N adopts several new parameters to adjust the channel bandwidth, and
guard intervals to improve the data rate dynamically. Linksys recommends to let your Access
Point automatically adjust the parameters for maximum data throughput.

Advanced Wireless

You can change the following advanced parameters (some only for Wireless-N) for this Access
Point.
• Country/Region—Choose the country for your location from the drop-down list.
• Worldwide Mode (802.11d)—Enable this setting if you wish to use this mode, and
your Wireless stations support this mode.
• Channel Bandwidth—You can select the channel bandwidth manually for Wireless-N
connections. When it is set to 20MHz, only the 20MHz channel is used. When it is set to
40MHz, Wireless-N connections will use 40MHz channel but Wireless-B and Wireless-G
will still use 20MHz channel. The default is 20MHz.
• Guard Interval—You can select the guard interval manually for Wireless-N connections.
The three options are Auto, Short (400ns) and Long (800ns). The default is Auto.
• CTS Protection Mode—CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function boosts the
Access Point's ability to catch all wireless transmissions, but will severely decrease
performance. Keep the default setting, Auto, so the Access Point can use this feature as
needed, when the Wireless-N/G products are not able to transmit to the Access Point in
an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. Select Disabled if you want to permanently
disable this feature.
• Beacon Interval—This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is
a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. A beacon
includes the wireless networks service area, the Access Point address, the Broadcast
destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic
Indicator Message (TIM). The default is 100 ms.
