Choose 802.11ng or 802.11na as your access point’s Wi-Fi protocol.
The AP One AC mini provides the 802.11ng protocol for the 2.4 GHz band and the
802.11ac protocol for the 5GHz band, as shown below.
This drop-down menu specifies the national / regional regulations the AP should follow.
If a North American region is selected, RF channels 1 to 11 will be available and the
maximum transmission power will be 26 dBm (400 mW).
If European region is selected, RF channels 1 to 13 will be available. The maximum
transmission power will be 20 dBm (100 mW).
NOTE: Users are required to choose an option suitable to local laws and regulations.
Per FCC regulation, the country selection is not available on all models marketed in the
US. All US models are fixed to US channels only.
There are three options: 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 20/40 MHz. With this feature enabled,
the Wi-Fi system can use two channels at once. Using two channels improves the
performance of the Wi-Fi connection.
The AP One AC mini offers channel bonding options for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands,
as shown below. In addition to 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 20/40 MHz, the 5Ghz band offers
80Mhz, which is the default setting.
This drop-down menu selects the 5GHz 802.11 channel to be used. If Auto is set, the
system will perform channel scanning based on the scheduled time set and choose the
most suitable channel automatically.
The AP One AC mini allows setting channels on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, as
shown below.
This drop-down menu determines the power at which your access point will broadcast.
When fixed settings are selected, the AP will broadcast at the specified power level,
regardless of context. When Auto is selected, the AP will adjust its power level based
on surrounding APs to maximize performance.
While single-radio models allow setting power output levels for one frequency band only,
the AP One AC mini provide output power settings for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
bands, as shown below.
This drop-down menu provides the option to send beacons in different transmit bit rates.
The bit rates are 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 6Mbps, and 11Mbps.
Set the time between each beacon send. Available options are 100ms, 250ms, and
500ms.
