TXOP Limit (Transmit Opportunity Limit) – The maximum time an AC
transmit queue has access to the wireless medium. When an AC queue is
granted a transmit opportunity, it can transmit data for a time up to the
TXOP Limit. This data bursting greatly improves the efficiency for high data-
rate traffic. Specify a value in the range 0-8192 microseconds.
Beacon Interval — The rate at which beacon signals are transmitted from the
access point. The beacon signals allow wireless clients to maintain contact with
the access point. They also carry power-management and other information.
(Range: 100-1024 TUs; Default: 100 TUs)
Bandsteering — When enabled, clients that support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are
first connected to the 5 GHz radio. This feature helps balance the client load
over the two radio bands. Note that both radios must have configured SSIDs
and security settings that match for this feature to fully operate. (Default: Off)
Airtime Fairness — Enabling this feature improves the overall performance of
the wireless network. (Default: Disabled)
Minimum signal allowed — Only allows clients to connect to the radio
interface if their signal strength (RSSI) is equal or greater than the specified
value. Setting the value to -100 disables this feature. Clients already connected
are checked periodically. (Range: -1 to -100; Default: -100)
This forces clients to associate with an AP that has a better signal strength (also
called assisted roaming). Suggested value is -70 to -80 depending on access
point density and coverage.
BSS coloring — In 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) mode, BSS coloring allows nearby APs
operating at the same frequency to identify traffic belonging to their own Basic
Service Set (BSS). The BSS coloring enables Wi-Fi 6 networks to operate more
efficiently in high-density environments where neighboring AP and client
transmissions overlap. Assign a color value (a number from 1 to 63) to identify
the radio BSS, or enter value 64 to allow the AP to randomly select a color
value. (Range: 1-63, 64 random; Default: 64)
Interference Detection — When the utilization in current channel reaches the
configured threshold (as a percentage), the AP switches to a different channel.
(Range: 0 - 100%; Default: 0, disabled)
OFDMA — The 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) mode supports Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and this cannot be disabled.
Target Wake Time — In 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) mode, the AP can allow clients to
request a specific Target-Wakeup Time (TWT) to transmit or receive frames,
rather than rely on periodic beacons. This feature enables client devices to
have much longer sleep states and results in significant power savings. In
addition, the AP can control and schedule client TWTs to both manage
contention in the network and accommodate delay-sensitive traffic. (Default:
Disabled)
