Warning: This tab includes settings that could negatively impact the performance of the CLEAR Spot, if set incorrectly.
These settings should be modified only by advanced users or if directed by CLEAR Customer Care.
The Wi-Fi Settings / Advanced Tab displays advanced wi-fi settings of the CLEAR Spot.
Wireless Settings:
 Broadcast SSID: This setting is defaulted to “enable.” You may disable this setting if you do not
wish other devices to see your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network in their list of available wireless
networks. Others still can connect to your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network, if you give them the name
of the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network and wi-fi password.
 Radio Channel: Shows the channel number being used by the CLEAR Spot. Select “Auto” for
the CLEAR Spot automatically to choose the best available channel; or select a specific channel
(from the drop-down box).
 Working Mode: View and change the type (802.11b only, 802.11g only, or all) of
wi-fi-enabled devices that can connect to the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network. Select 802.11g only for
the highest performance. To determine which wi-fi standard your device uses, refer to the
device’s user manual.
 RTS Threshold: A Request to Send (RTS) threshold whose feature can control the traffic flow,
especially when there are many devices connected. Set the packet size (256 to 2432 bytes)
threshold.
 Fragmentation Threshold: Set the packet length (256 to 2432 bytes) for Fragmentation
Threshold. When the transmission of the packet length exceeds the range, the packet will be
segmented.
 Beacon Period: Adjust the beacon interval (15 to 3000 milliseconds). The beacon interval tells
receiving devices on the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network how long they can wait in low-power mode
before waking up to handle the beacon.
 DTIM Interval: Set the number of AP Beacons between each DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication
Message).
 CTS Protect Mode: This protects transmission from interference. This is preset to Auto Mode.
 Preamble Length: Set the Preamble Length, if any.
 Transmission Power: Change the transmission power, if any.
 Access Control List Settings: Allows you to change what type of System Default, if any.
