Wireless Range Extender (WL-130) Configuration
23
Beacon Interval
The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate
The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point uses to transmit
data packets. The access point will use the highest possible
selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
Preamble Type
Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames
during the wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable
for high traffic wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide
more reliable communication.
Broadcast ESSID
If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located
within the coverage of this access point can discover this access
point easily. If you are building a public wireless network,
enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast
ESSID” can provide better security.
IAPP
If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically
broadcast information of associated wireless stations to its
neighbors. This will help wireless station roaming smoothly
between access points. If you have more than one access points
in your wireless LAN and wireless stations have roaming
requirements, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling
“IAPP” can provide better security.
802.11g Protection
This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to enable
the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the
rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput
of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame traffic
should be transmitted.
Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can
now configure other advance sections or start using the Access Point.
