4.2.7 Channel Width
Operation Mode -> Setup -> Channel Width
In 802.11a spec, each channel occupies 20MHz channel width. Therefore, each channel
will jump by number of 4 (i.e. 36, 40, 44…etc).
Normal (20MHz): This is the default channel width specified by IEEE 802.11a
specification
4.2.8 Security Settings
Operation Mode -> Setup -> Security Settings
Security settings allow you to use encryption to secure your data from eavesdropping.
You can select different security policy to provide association authentication and/or data
encryption. The AirMax DUO features various security policies including WEP, 802.1x,
WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, WPA-Auto, and WPA-PSK-Auto. Please note not all
security policies are available in all operation modes. For example, only WEP is available
currently in WDS Bridge mode and Client Ad hoc mode. All wireless devices on the same
network must use the same security policy. We recommend using WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK whenever possible. For WDS Bridge and Client Ad hoc mode, we recommend
using WEP-152 encryption.
WEP: WEP Encryption is the oldest and most available encryption method. However, it is
also the least secure. Due to the limitation of the chipset, only WEP encryption is available
for WDS Bridge Pure MAC mode and Client Ad-hoc mode.
