7.10 Wireless LAN Technical Reference
This section discusses wireless LANs in depth. For more information, see the appendix.
7.10.1 Wireless Network Overview
Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges.
• A wireless client is a radio connected to a user’s computer.
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with
numerous wireless clients and let them access the network.
• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and wireless clients,
extending a network’s range.
Traditionally, a wireless network operates in one of two ways.
802.11 Mode
Select
802.11b Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.
Select
802.11g Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.
Select
802.11b+g
to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of your
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.
Select
802.11n
to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with the
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.
Select
802.11g+n
to allow either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of your
AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.
Select
802.11b+g+n
to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries. The transmission rate of
your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries might be reduced.
Channel Width
Select whether the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries uses a wireless channel width of
20MHz
or
Auto
. If
Auto
is selected, the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries will use 40MHz if it is
supported.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20
MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select
20MHz
if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
This field is available only when you set the
802.11 Mode
to
802.11n
or
802.11b+g+n
in the
Advanced Setup
screen.
