Transmit Power Specifies the transmission power of the
access point. The power is selected from
a list of percentages, in the range of 1% to
100%. The default is 100%. Here are the
guidelines:
- High transmission power levels are more
cost-effective than low settings because
the access point has a greater range. This
reduces the number of access points
required to cover a particular area.
- Low transmission power settings can be
useful in reducing overlap and
interference between access points or
increasing security by limiting the wireless
signals to a physical location.
Fixed Multicast Rate Specifies the multicast transmission rate
of the access point. At the default Auto
setting, the multicast transmission rate is
fixed to the minimum rate in the Legacy
Rate Sets setting. The value is in Mbps.
Legacy Rate Sets Specifies the supported and advertised
data transmission rates of the access
point. Here are the guidelines:
- The Supported row specifies the data
rates the access point supports. The
default setting is all data rates.
- The Basic row specifies the data rates
the access point advertises to other
access points and wireless clients.
- The access point is generally more
efficient when it advertises a subset of its
supported data rates.
MCS (Data Rate) Settings Specifies the Modulation and Coding
Scheme (MCS) index the radio should
advertise to 802.11n clients. The MCS
indexes (also known as MCS data rates)
are defined in the 802.11n standard.
