Select a Network Mode. 2.4 GHz band includes 11b, 11g, 11b/g and 11b/g/n, while 5 GHz band includes
11a, 11ac and 11a/n. Descriptions are as follows.
11b: Works in 2.4 GHz band and supports up to 11 Mbps.
11g: Works in 2.4 GHz band and supports up to 54 Mbps.
11b/g: If you select this option, wireless clients supporting 802.11b or 802.11g can connect to the WiFi.
11b/g/n: If you select this option, wireless clients supporting 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n can connect
to the WiFi.
11a: Works in 5 GHz band and supports up to 54 Mbps.
11ac: Works in 5 GHz band and supports up to 1732Mbps. It is a newer standard that uses wider
channels, QAM and spatial streams for higher throughput.
11a/n: Works in 5 GHz band and supports up to 600Mbps, compatible with 11n.
Select the wireless bandwidth.
20: 20MHZ channel bandwidth.
40: 40MHZ channel bandwidth.
80: 80MHZ channel bandwidth.
Auto: Automatically adjust the channel bandwidth to 20MHZ or 40MHZ based on surrounding
environment.
Select the wireless channel. Channel range differs from country and radio band.
When bandwidth is 40 or Auto, this is used to determine the channel range of AP.
AP’s wireless transmission power. If this value is greater than the maximum supported power of an AP,
the maximum supported power takes effect after the policy is delivered.
RSSI is short for Received Signal Strength Indication.
If a wireless client’s signal is lower than this value, the client can not connect to the AP, which helps the
client connect to an AP with stronger signal.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks. The
WMM mechanism divides WLAN traffic by priority in descending order into the AC-VO (voice stream),
AC-VI (video stream), AC-BE (best effort), and AC-BK (background) access categories. The access category
uses queues with different priorities to send packets.
The WMM mechanism ensures that packets in queues with higher priorities have more opportunities to
access channels.
Enable/Disable SSID isolation.
When enabled, wireless clients that connect to different SSID of the AP cannot communicate with each
other.
APSD is short for Automatic Power Save Delivery. If it is enabled, the power consumption of this device is
reduced after a specified period during which no traffic is transmitted or received. By default, it is
disabled. By allowing your mobile devices to enter standby or sleep mode, it conserves energy. It is only
effective when you enable WMM.
After a client connects to the AP, if there is no data transmission within the specified time period, AP will
actively disconnect the client.
5G priority refers to a scenario when a dual band client connects to a dual band AP, the AP makes it
