The Wi-Fi AP/Bridge contains two wireless interfaces (wlan0 and wlan1) that can be individually
configured.
Configuring Wireless Interfaces Individually
From the
Network>Wireless Interfaces
screen, you can edit the wireless port’s settings and view
statistics for that interface.
Each wireless interface table displays the hardware (MAC) address of that interface and some
transmit and receive statistics (see
"show interfaces wireless <0-1>"
information on TX and RX statistics), and indicates if WEP is being used on that interface
(shown as WEP Enc Key: XXXX). The following settings can be changed as needed:
•
State
: Select
ENABLED
to use this interface, or
DISABLED
to disable this interface.
•
ESSID
: Enter the name that clients will see from this interface when searching for
wireless networks.
•
Bitrate
: Select the bit rate in megabits per second (Mbps) to use for all wireless
communications through this interface, or set to ‘auto’ for automatic rate setting (the
default). In standard 802.1lb operation, the wireless interface automatically adjusts the
bitrate according to the quality of the link with the wireless clients. There may be
situations where you want to constrain the bit rate to a specific value, such as during a
site survey or when collecting data on client performance. However, for typical Wi-Fi
operation you should use the ‘auto’ setting.
