Setting up 2.4GHz Radio including Wi-Fi SSID and Password
i. b/g protection: Enable protection for 11b traffic from 11g or 11n clients. (Auto is default).
j. Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel bandwidth of the 2.4 GHz radio. Selecting a wider
channel such as 40 MHz maximises throughput and increase speed however is more prone to inter-
ference from overlapping channels. If there are issues try the 20 MHz, not as fast but travels further
and has fewer overlapping channels.
k. Radio Channel: Set 2.4 GHz radio channel, best channels are 1, 6, and 11. (Default is Auto).
l. Extension Channel: Select the extension channel used in the 20/40 MHz bandwidth mode.
802.11n uses the extension channel to get extra speed. Select below or above. (Below is default).
m. Fixed TX Rate Link Mode: Set a fixed transmission bandwidth limit on the 2.4 GHz radio.
n. Authentication Method: Set the authentication method for wireless clients. This can be set
to open if you want no Wi-Fi encryption. (Default and standard setting is WPA2-Personal)
o. WPA Encryption: Enable the WPA encryption to encrypt the data (default is AES)
p. WPA Pre-Shared Key: This is the 2.4 GHz radio Wi-Fi password. It must be between 8 and
63 characters long. (Default is Gigawave)
q. Network Key Rotation Interval: This specifies the interval (seconds) after which a WPA
group key is changed. (Can be left at 3600).
r. TX Power Adjustment (%): Set the 2.4 GHz radios antenna power. This can be raised or low-
ered based on the scenario. If there is a lot of interference from wireless devices the output power
can lowered accordingly. (Default is set to 100).
s. Region Code: Different regions have different regulations for Wi-Fi channels, adjust accord-
ing to the region that the router is installed in. (Default is Europe channels 1-13).
