SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
N Data Rate — Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients.
Channel Width — Set the channel width of the wireless radio. NOTE: If you aren’t
sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default setting (“Auto 20/40 MHz”).
Preamble Type — Set the preamble type. NOTE: If you aren’t sure what this should
be set to, leave it as the default setting (“Short Preamble”).
Broadcast ESSID — Decide if the wireless router will broadcast its own ESSID. You
can hide the ESSID of your wireless router (select “Disable”) so only people who
know the ESSID of your wireless router can connect to it.
CTS Protect — Enabling this function reduces the chance of radio signal collisions
between 802.11b and 802.11g/n wireless access points. NOTE: The recommended
setting is either “Auto” or “Always.”
Tx Power — Set the output power of the wireless radio. Unless you’re using this
router in a really big space, you may not need to set this to “100%.”
WMM — Set WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia, which enhances the data transfer
performance of multimedia content sent over a wireless network) to “Enable” or
leave it as the default (“Disable”).
