3.4.5 Hosts
To view the current list of connected devices, click on "Show Hosts on LAN". The list will present
the IP addresses along with their corresponding unique hardware (MAC) addresses.
As certain devices on your LAN might require a familiar representation (such as
"server.mynetwork.com"), you can pair the LAN IP address of that computer to
"server.mynetwork.com". This means that if you try to surf to http://server.mynetwork.com from
another computer on the same network, the router will redirect you locally to that specific
computer.
3.5 WLAN
This menu will provide you the possibility to view/modify the Wireless LAN (WLAN) Settings.
3.5.1 WLAN Settings
Here are the settings for the wireless network.
Wireless Band drop-down menu lets you choose what wireless standard to use in your private
network. Possible choices are 802.11b with a maximum transfer rate of 11Mbps, 802.11g with a
maximum transfer rate of 54Mbps, 802.11n with a maximum transfer rate of 300Mbps or 802.11b
+g+n if you have clients with mixed types of network cards.
Channel drop-down menu lets you change the radio channel for the wireless communication. This
is useful if you experience poor performance that could be as a result of interference from other
wireless devices.
Bandwidth drop-down menu will be enabled whenever 802.11b+g+n or 802.11n is selected as the
Wireless Band. By default, 20MHz is selected as it ensures the best compatibility with client
devices. When selecting 40MHz, a second channel is enabled which can increase throughput for
compatible 802.11n which also support 40MHz. Please note that by selecting 40MHz, you might
experience incompatibility with certain devices. In such case, please use 20MHz.
The 2nd Channel drop-down menu will be available once the Bandwidth has been manually set to
40MHz. From there, you can appoint the placement of the secondary channel to be located either
below or above the primary channel. Please note that when using 40MHz, the gap between two
bonded channel points is equivalent to 4 numbered channels. Therefore, if selecting channel 6, the
paired channel will either be 2 or 10, depending on your selection of placement.
Data Rate drop-down menu is the setting for the transmission speed at the selected Wireless
Band. If you experience problems at high data rates, then we recommend that you select a lower
data rate.
SSID (Service Set Identifier): is the name of the router that will appear in other Wireless LAN
clients when they perform a network search.
Default value is DOVADO
SSID Broadcast: enables or disables transmission of the SSID from the router.
When disabled, other Wireless LAN clients will not find the router when they perform a network
search.
Fragment length: is a setting that affects the quality of the wireless transmissions. If you
experience a high packet error rate you can decrease this value in small steps to reduce this
problem. Setting the fragment length too low may result in poor performance.
Default value is 2346.
RTS length: is a setting that affects the quality of the wireless transmissions. If you experience
inconsistent data flow you can decrease this value in small steps to reduce this problem.
Default value is Off.
