Keep in mind that after saving this
setting, you will be disconnected
from any existing wireless connec-
tion to the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac/
n. In this case, configure the device
over Ethernet.
It is worth noting that connected devices also have to
support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz. From
channel 52 onward you go into the radar range. When
accessing the device for the first time, a radar detection
phase (DFS) starts automatically, during which time the
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac/n cannot be accessed via
WiFi.
Mode
In the Mode field, select the desired WiFi communica-
tion standard.
Channel
There are 11 channels available in the 5 GHz frequency
band. The recommended channel selection default set-
ting is Automatic. The dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac/n
regularly and automatically executes the channel se-
lection in this setting. In other words, if the last con-
nected station logs out, a search for a suitable channel
is carried out immediately. If no stations are connect-
ed, the device automatically selects a channel every 15
minutes.
Channel width
Optimal use of the available frequency band requires
selecting the appropriate channel width.

In this section, you can adjust the WiFi transmission
level to your needs. I.e. if you require a large range, se-

Data rates
Only change the preconfigured data rates if
you understand the concept behind them.
Setting the radio data rates entails selecting the data
rates used by the WiFi access point for transmission.
The WiFi access point sends all packets with the largest
possible basic rate. If the distance between the WiFi
access point and the WiFi stations is too large for this
data rate or faults and interference occur, packets are
sent with the next smallest basic rate. At least one ba-
sic rate must be selected. Unicast packets can also be
sent with the supported data rates which are not basic
rates.
You can optimise the WiFi access point either for max-
imum range or for the best performance by varying the
data rates. The maximum range is achieved when the
basic rate is set only to 1 Mbps, all data rates, howev-
er, are supported.
