Knowing the Network Application
The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) function.
z Access Point
z WDS mode
z Bridge/Router
z WISP
z Client mode
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device can act
as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the communication mechanism
between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless NIC. Following are the types of operation
mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the
wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The other wired Ethernet (LAN) port bridges
to the private WLAN. The NAT is existed between WAN and WLAN/LAN and all the
wireless and wired clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP.
The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of
device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on
your ISP requirement.
Bridge
The WAN port will bridge to the other 4 LAN ports. Once the mode is selected, all the
WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP
address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with both the wired Ethernet ports of the
device. When setup as this mode, the wireless radio will be client mode connecting to the
AP of your ISP as the WAN connection and then you can configure the WAN IP
configuration to meet your WISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and
![](/img.php?id=1079905&img=bgb.png)
11
provides a connection to a wired LAN.
Client mode
This mode enables the establishment of connection with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly
connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless
adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect one of the wired Ethernet port
to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP
address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device forwards the
packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless
clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS
connection.
AP + WDS
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS connections but
also the wireless clients can survey and associate to the device.
The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio
modes.

Advanced Wireless
Item Description
BG Protection Mode Default: Auto. You can select the other options including On
and Off. The B/G protection technology is CTS-To-Self. It
will try to reserve the throughput for 11g clients from 11b
clients connecting to the device as AP mode.
Basic Data Rates Choose the ACK rate for this device in B/G mode.
Beacon Interval Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to
synchronize the wireless network. The beacon interval is
the time interval between beacons sending by this unit in
AP or AP+WDS mode. The default and recommended
beacon interval is 100 milliseconds.
Data Beacon Rate
(DTIM) This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert
the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at
the AP will be transmitted immediately after the
transmission of this beacon frame. You can change the
value from 1 to 255. The AP will check the buffered data
according to this value. For example, selecting “1” means
to check the buffered data at every beacon.
Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of
as one block). Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of
radio interference. This function will help you to improve the
network performance.
RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the
radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the
packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas
where many client devices are associating with the device,
or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect
only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
TX Power
The default TX power is 100%. In case of shortening the
distance and the coverage of the wireless network, input a
smaller value to reduce the radio transmission power. For
example, input 80 to apply 80% Tx power.
Short Preamble Default: Disable. It is a performance parameter for 802.11
![](/img.php?id=1079905&img=bg1b.png)
27
b/g mode and not supported by some of very early stage of
802.11b station cards. If there is no such kind of stations
associated to this AP, you can enable this function.
Short Slot For a WLAN network with 802.11g/n devices, the time slot
can be set short to increase the throughput. Disable this
option for the backward compatibility with 802.11b device.
Tx Burst The device will try to send a serial of packages with single
ACK reply from the clients. Enable this function to apply it.
