Wireless Network Name (SSID)

This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network.

Keep it identical on all those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed

32 characters.

802.11 Mode

The WAB-5120 can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11n or 802.11a/n.

HT Protect

Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under

802.11n mode, wireless client can be divided into HT STA and Non-HT STA, among which the one

with HT protect enabled gets higher throughput.

Frequency/Channel

Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper

operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation

Extension Channel

Only applicable to AP, AP Repeater, and 40MHz channel width indicates the use of channel

bonding that allows the WAB-5120 to use two channels at once. Two options are available:

Upper Channel and Lower Channel..

Channel Mode

4 levels are available: 40MHz, 20MHz, 10MHz and 5MHz. 40MHz can enhance data throughput,

but it takes more bandwidth, thus it might cause potential interference.

Antenna

By default, the WAB-5120 uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you

prefer to use an external antenna for your case-dependent applications, you can switch from

“Internal (16 dBi)” to ”SMA Connector”.

When SMA Connector is selected, an Antenna Gain bar will appear to allow you specify the gain

of the external antenna. The antenna gain calculates the TX power back off needed to remain in

compliance with regulations.

You are able to choose

“SMA Connector” only from the WEB UI after you have

physically installed the external antenna; otherwise, it might damage the unit itself.
