Select the region in which the access point is operating from the Region list. The region setting restricts
3
the allowable frequencies and channels. If your region is not listed, select a region that has similar
regulations.
Select a protocol from the Protocol list. Available options are:
4
• 802.11b only – Wireless clients can only connect using
802.11b (11 Mbit/s). Most wireless clients that support 802.11g also support 802.11b.
• 802.11g only – Wireless clients can only connect using
802.11g (54 Mbit/s). Wireless clients that only support 802.11b are unable to connect.
• 802.11b and 802.11g – [Recommended, default] Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients can
connect.
Note: Be aware that all clients need to connect using the same protocol. As such, if 802.11b clients
connect, all wireless connections will be using the 802.11b protocol, even those clients that support
802.11g.
Enter the transmit power for the access point in the Transmit Power (%) field. Decreasing the power
5
reduces the range of the wireless network and reduces interference to other nearby access points. The
field attributes are as follows:
• Range: 1-100
• Default: 100%
Select a preamble length from the Preamble Type list. The preamble is part of the physical wireless
6
protocol. Available options are:
• Long (Default)
• Short – Short preambles can increase throughput; however, some wireless clients might not support
short preambles.
