■
11n only: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with
the Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps).
■
11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate
with the Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data
transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g
clients.
■
11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the
Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission
rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.
◆ Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service
provided by the Mini Broadband Router. Clients that want to connect to
the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Mini
Broadband Router. (Default: “SMC”; Range: 1-32 characters)
◆ Multiple SSID1 — One additional VAP interface supported on the
device. (Default: no name configured; Range: 1-32 characters)
◆ Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Mini Broadband
Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the
SSID broadcast increases security of the network because wireless
clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect.
When set to disable, the Network Name SSID, and SSID1 are
automatically set to “Hide.” (Default: Enabled)
◆ AP Isolation — The Mini Broadband Router will isolate
communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally
for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)
◆ MBSSID AP Isolation — The Mini Broadband Router will isolate
wireless clients from different SSID.
◆ BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Mini Broadband Router in
the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
◆ Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the Mini Broadband
Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple
access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on
neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid
interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three
access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that
wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used
by the Mini Broadband Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto
Select enables the Mini Broadband Router to automatically select an
unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
