interface. Among other things, you can select a particular channel on which to
operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation
threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save
mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether
short or long preambles are used.

Description
AP Isolation
Select On or Off. By enabling this feature, wireless
clients associated with the Access Point can be linked.
Band
The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11g units to fall back to
speeds of 11 Mbps, so IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g devices
can coexist in the same network. The two standards apply to
the 2.4 GHz frequency band. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate
parity at 2.4 GHz with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a
54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has other differences
compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more
channels.)
Channel
Allows selection of a specific channel (1-11) or Auto mode.

54g Rate
Specifies a data transmission rate. In Auto mode (default) it
uses the maximum rate if possible but drops to lower rates
when necessary. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal
strength. Other rates are discrete values between 1 to 54 Mbps.
Multicast Rate
Setting for multicast packet transmission rate. (1-54 Mbps)
Basic Rate
Setting basic transmission rate.
Fragmentation
A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether

packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11
WLAN, packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold are
