NETGEAR WAC505 User Manual

• The 40 MHz channel enables higher data rates but leaves fewer channels available for use.
• The 802.11ac specification allows an 80 MHz–wide channel in addition to the dynamic 20/40 MHz
channel that is available with other modes.
The channel width and guard interval determine the available MCS index and data transmit rates.
To change the channel width for a radio:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The default user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5. From the Channel Width menu, select one of the following settings.
• 20 MHz.
• 40 MHz.
• Dynamic 20 / 40 MHz.This is the default setting for the 2.4 GHz radio.
• Dynamic 20 / 40 / 80 MHz.This selection is available only for the 5 GHz radio and is the default
setting for that radio.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The radio or radios restart and WiFi clients might need to reconnect.
Change the Output Power for a Radio
By default, the output power of the access point is set at the maximum. If two or more access points are
operating in the same area and on the same channel, interference can occur. In such a situation, you might
want to decrease the output power for an access point. Make sure that you comply with the regulatory
requirements for total radio frequency (RF) output power in your country.
To change the output power for a radio:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
