Wireless Network Name (SSID)
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name in which other wireless clients will
see this unit as when searching on the wireless network.
Channel
Channels are important to understand because they affect the overall
capacity of your Wireless LAN. A channel represents a narrow band of
radio frequency. A radio frequency modulates within a band of frequencies;
as a result, there is a limited amount of bandwidth within any given range to
carry data. It is important that the frequencies do not overlap or else the
throughput would be significantly lowered as the network sorts and
reassembles the data packets sent over the air.
These are the only 3 channels out of the 11 available that do not overlap
with one another. To avoid interference within the network with multiple
APs, set each AP to use one of the 3 channels (e.g. Channel 1) and then
the other AP to be one of the other 2 channels (i.e. Channel 6 or Channel
11) within the range of the wireless radio. This simple method will reduce
interference and improve network reliability.
Wireless Channel Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz – 2.497 GHz
Channel 1 = 2401 Hz – 2423 Hz
Channel 6 = 2426 Hz – 2448 Hz
Channel 11 = 2451 Hz – 2473 Hz
Americas: Wireless Channels 1-11
Asia: Wireless Channels 1 – 14
Europe: Wireless Channels 1-13
Transmission rate (Mbits/s)
This option indicates the transmission rate of the bridge. Specify the rate
according to the speed of your wireless network from the list. Most of the
time the default setting Best (automatic) should be selected for best
performance. You may want to adjust the setting manually If your link
quality and signal strength is usually low or high to get the best
performance.
