Description
Selects the wireless channel width (bandwidth taken by wireless signals of this access point).
We suggest setting Auto 20/40MHz. Do not change this to 20 MHz unless you know what it is.
Sets the wireless radio's preamble type. Do not modify the default value if you don't know
what it is; the default setting is Short Preamble.
Decides if the wireless access point will broadcast its own ESSID or not. You can hide the wire-
less access point's ESSID (set the option to Disable), so only people who know your wireless
access point's ESSID can connect.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology improves the performance of certain network applica-
tions, such as audio/video streaming, network telephony (VoIP), and others. When you enable
the WMM function, the access point will define the priority of different kinds of data, and give
higher priority to applications which require instant responding. This improves the performance
of such network applications.
Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of radio signal collisions between 802.11b and
802.11g wireless access points. We recommend setting this option to Auto.
You can set the wireless radio's output power. Unless you're using this wireless access point in
a really big space, you may not have to set output power to 100%. This will enhance security
(malicious/unknown users will not be able to reach your wireless access point).
