Radio/5GHz
Wireless Radio:
Check the box to enable the Wireless Radio.
Wireless Mode:
Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.
Wireless network created by the EAP is able to operate in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz
frequency The EAP supports 802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g, 802.11n standards in the
2.4GHz mode and 802.11a/n/ac, 802.11n/ac, 802.11ac standards in the 5GHz
mode. It is recommended to select 802.11b/g/n (2.4GHz) and 802.11a/n/ac
(5GHz), in which way clients supporting any one of these modes can access
your wireless network.
Channel Width:
Select the channel width of this device.
For 2.4Ghz, the o
ptions include 20MHz, 40MHz and 20/40MHz (this device
automatically selects 20MHz or 40MHz, and 20MHz will be used if 40MHz is not
available), and for 5Ghz, include 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz and 20/40/80MHz.
According to IEEE 802.11 standard, using a channel width of 40MHz or 80MHz
can increase wireless throughput. However, users may choose lower
bandwidth due to the following reasons:
1. To increase the available number of channels within the limited total
bandwidth.
2.
To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other
devices in the environment.
3. Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing
stability of wireless links over long distances.
TIPS:
P
roceed to the following chapter for information on configuring the wireless network of the EAP.
The configuring information of 2.4GHz is taken as the example.
