AP
Client
WDS
Repeater
If you select WDS or Repeater, please click “WDS Settings” in the
submenu for the related configuration. Furthermore, click “Multiple
AP” to enable multiple SSID functions.
SSID
It’s the ID of the wireless network. User can access the wireless
network via the ID only. However, if you switch to Client Mode, this
field becomes the SSID of the AP you want to connect with.
Default: PLANET_XXXX (“X” means the last 4 digits of the MAC
address)
Channel Width
You can select 20MHz, or 40MHz.
Channel Number
You can select the operating frequency of wireless network.
Default: 11
Broadcast SSID
If you enable “Broadcast SSID”, every wireless station located within
the coverage of the AP can discover its signal easily. If you are building
a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. In
private network, disabling “Broadcast SSID” can provide better
wireless network security.
Default is “Enabled”.
Data Rate
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most of
wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data
transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this value
unless you know what will happen after modification.
Default is “Auto”.
