the use of an access point (AP). Use this mode if there is no wireless infrastructure or where services are not required.

Wireless Network Name (SSID)

Network Name is also known as SSID, which stands for Service Set Identifier. Any client in Infrastructure mode has to
indicate the SSID of a Access Point to start accessing the service from behind such as internet access.

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.


RF Transmit Power

This section controls the power output for the mini-PCI radio card. The valid input range for this section is in the range
of 0-30 in dBm units. The default value is 23 dBm or 200mW.

802.11 Mode


Wireless mode allows the user to select whether this Bridge will connect to an 802.11b only network, an 802.11g only
network, an 802.11a only network or both b/g networks. If you only have b or g wireless devices on the network
selecting 802.11b or 802.11g only network will provide better performance then in mixed mode. In the case of TT5800
only 802.11a mode is allowed. For TT2400 the options of 802.11b, 802.11g only or Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b is
available.


Super Mode

Super Mode is only supported if both the client and the AP is using compatible Atheros radio chipsets

Disabled

Super A/G without Turbo

Super A/G with Static Turbo

Super A/G with Dynamic Turbo (AR enabled)



Auto Channel Select

Check this box to enable Access Point to automatically select the best channel at start up. This may take upto 20
seconds and no clients will be able to associate during this period.

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.

802.11b/g Wireless Channel Frequency Range: 2.4 GHz

– 2.497 GHz
