• Group Key Update Period: Enter the number of seconds to control the time interval
for the encryption key automatic renewal. The default is 0, indicating no key renewal.

transmitted preferentially. WMM is enabled compulsively under 802.11n or 802.11ac
mode.
• Short GI: This feature is enabled by default and recommended to increase the data
capacity by reducing the Guard Interval (GI) time.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the settings mentioned above, it’s strongly recommended that you keep the provided default
settings; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.

Locate the WDS section and select the Enable WDS Bridging check box. And then set
the information of the router to be bridged. Refer to FAQ for detailed instructions.
