Rate
shows the current modulation rate in which the SpeedTouch™580 is
currently operating.
Note
Take into consideration that if the distance between the Speed-
Touch™580 and the client increases the throughput for this client
decreases. In general walls, closets and big metal objects will have a
negative influence on throughput performance.

By default The SpeedTouch™580 chooses its radio channel automatically at
start-up of the access point on basis of the least interference with other access
points.
Click Update to let the SpeedTouch™580 re-evaluate the aerial environment
conditions to base a new channel selection on. A channel change will be applied
immediately.
Note
Associated wireless clients always follow the access point’s radio
channel selection. They will change their radio channel into that of the
updated radio channel selection. In worst-case there will be a short
loss of connection but that will be automatically restored.
To configure a fixed radio channel:
1
Select the desired radio channel.
Note
Channel selection is automatically restricted in line with region
limitations. See
for more
information.
2
Click Apply to apply the radio channel.
Note
The button Update disappears and will come back if you select
Auto
