Period value between 20 and 1000 milliseconds.
Short Slot: Slot Time is the period wireless clients use in determining if the channel is free for transmission.
Enabling this value allows clients that can utilize a shorter time to do so. Disabling this option forces all
transmission collisions.

Protection: In Auto mode the device will use protection to improve performance in mixed mode networks. Turn
Airtime Fairness: Airtime Fairness will attempt to balance air time between faster and slower wireless clients
Channel Width: Selects whether the router uses a single 20 MHz channel to send/receive, or uses two adjacent
20 MHz channels to create a 40 MHz channel. Higher performance is possible with the 40 MHz channel.
Extended Channel: When operating in 40 MHz mode the access point will use an extended channel either below
or above the current channel. Optimal selection will depend on the channels of other networks in the area.
MCS: 802.11n uses multiple Modulation Coding Schemes to enable higher throughput in various environments.

RADIUS Timeout
authenticate with the RADIUS server at this interval in seconds. This allows administrators to revoke access so
when an attached client’s authentication expires, the client must re-authenticate.
RADIUS Retry
unreachable.
ETHERNET PORTS
Mode (WAN or LAN) and Link Speed. Additional controls for WAN
ports are available in CONNECTION MANAGER.
