On the Advanced page, you can configure:
• Transmit Power: The power depends on the distance of the devices in your wireless network. From
the drop-down list, select the desired power. You can use this feature to limit the coverage area
of the wireless network.
o Maximum: This setting will broadcast at the maximum allowed mW for the channel
selected if Obey Regulatory Power is checked. If Obey Regulatory Power is not checked,
then the maximum 30 dBm (1000 mW) will be broadcast.
o Automatic: This setting will adjust the power of the access point based on the distance to
the furthest client device. The access point will lower its power if the furthest client is 10
feet away and will raise the power if the furthest client is 100 feet away.
o 1 dBm (1 mW) – 30 dBm (1000 mW): These are static power settings. The access point will
broadcast at the selected power level.
• Obey Regulatory Power: This feature will enable government mandated power levels per channel
based on the access point’s Country Code.
• RTS/CTS Threshold: Enter the packet size threshold for RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
to occur. The primary reason for implementing this function is to minimize the collision between
hidden stations, which occurs when access points and wireless users are spread out in a location
and there is a high occurrence of retransmissions on the wireless LAN. Default setting is 2347.
• Beacon Interval: Adjusting Beacon Interval will allow clients to sleep longer. Clients have to wake
up for every beacon, so this setting tells your client how many milliseconds it can sleep for (e.g., if
BP = 100 your stations are allowed to sleep for up to 100 ms).
