OVERVIEW
Your device can function in four different modes.
AP Mode is a regular access point for use in your wireless network. This is the
default mode of the access point.
Repeater Mode is a wireless repeater (also called wireless range extender)
that takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point
and rebroadcasts it to create a second network.
Managed AP Mode acts as a “slave” AP within an AP array (controlled by the
AP Controller “master”).
Client Bridge Mode determines the device to be a client bridge. The client
bridge receives wireless signal and provides it to devices connected to the
bridge via Ethernet cable.

Beamforming Beamforming is a signal processing technique used in sensor
arrays for directional signal transmission or reception.
This is achieved by combining elements in an antenna array in
such a way that signals at particular angles experience
constructive interference while others experience destructive
interference. Beamforming can be used at both the
transmitting and receiving ends in order to achieve spatial
selectivity. The improvement compared with omnidirectional
reception / transmission is known as the directivity of the
array.
Airtime Fairness gives equal amounts of air time (instead of

WMM
Wi‐Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi‐Fi Alliance interoperability certification
based on the IEEE 802.11e standard, which provides Quality of Service (QoS)
features to IEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four
categories: background, best effort, video and voice.
Configuring WMM consists of adjusting parameters on queues for different
categories of wireless traffic. Traffic is sent to the following queues:
Background Low Priority High throughput, non time sensitive bulk data e.g.
FTP
Best Effort Medium
Traditional IP data, medium throughput and delay.
Priority
Video
High Priority Time sensitive video data with minimum time
delay.
Voice
High Priority Time sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming
media with minimum time delay.
84
Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delays for video, voice,
multimedia and critical applications. The values can be adjusted further
manually:
CWMin
CWMax
AIFSN
TxOP
Minimum Contention Window (milliseconds): This value is input
to the initial random backoff wait time algorithm for retry of a
data frame transmission. The backoff wait time will be generated
between 0 and this value. If the frame is not sent, the random
backoff value is doubled until the value reaches the number
defined by CWMax (below). The CWMin value must be lower
than the CWMax value. The contention window scheme helps to
avoid frame collisions and determine priority of frame
transmission. A shorter window has a higher probability
(priority) of transmission.
Maximum Contention Window (milliseconds): This value is the
upper limit to random backoff value doubling (see above).
Arbitration Inter‐Frame Space (milliseconds): Specifies additional
time between when a channel goes idle and the AP/client sends
data frames. Traffic with a lower AIFSN value has a higher
priority.
Transmission Opportunity (milliseconds): The maximum interval
of time an AP/client can transmit. This makes channel access
more efficiently prioritized. A value of 0 means only one frame
per transmission. A greater value means higher priority.

environments.
