Parameter Meaning
WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default
settings is recommended.
Priority
The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission
packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and (Low) 1. From the
queue, these packets are processed in order of priority.
CWmin, CWmax
The maximum and minimum value of the contention window.
The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance
structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally the smaller the
value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue
obtains the right to send.
AIFSN
The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as
the window dened by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the
interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As
a result, the priority of the queue is higher.
TXOP Limit
The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the
right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more
frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may
interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0
(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send.

Issue:
What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may aect this behavior. First, ensure the issue is not
range related by locating the wireless router and the device dropping connection in closer proximity
and check whether the connection drops continue.
In some cases, interference from other wireless networks or sources such as 2.4 GHz wireless phones
may impact performance. To work around this scenario, change the wireless channel used by your
wireless router.
Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong tab and then the Basic
tab. The Wireless Channel setting can be selected from channels 1 to 11. If an Auto-Channel option
is available, attempt to use this option to remedy the problem. If Auto-Channel is unavailable,
manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply].
Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access
the Internet with my web browser.
Answer:
First, power o the Cable or DSL modem, the wireless router, and your computer. Move the router's
mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the wireless router with an
Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the wireless
router and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and
navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally.
If after these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power o the Cable or DSL modem
and computer again and directly connect your computer to the Cable or DSL modem with a cable
between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute.
Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection.
If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the
Internet Service Provider who installed the modem.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of
a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC établies pour un
environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm
de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.
Ce dispositif a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une antenne ayant un gain maximal de dB [5].
Une antenne à gain plus élevé est strictement interdite par les règlements d’Industrie Canada.
L’impédance d’antenne requise est de 50 ohms.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peutfonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pourl’émetteur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectriqueà l’intention des
autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que lapuissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire àl’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
