The number of characters required updates automatically based on how you set Key Length and Key Type. Enter a string of characters. These are the RC4 encryption keys shared with the stations using the AP. Enter an appropriate name for the new WDS link you have created.
Enter a unique shared key for the WDS bridge. If this key is not the same for both APs, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data. Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits, and special symbols such as and.
Note: After you configure the WDS settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. WDS Interface. Key Type. WEP Key. You would want a lower setting if you live in an area where your wireless signal could be overlapping with other wireless networks and want to reduce the interference you encounter. Control channel : Sets the channel on which the access point operates.
If you are experiencing interference or wireless network problems, changing the channel may solve the issue. It is recommended that you keep the control channel set at Automatic to avoid interference with adjacent networks. Do not use Automatic if you are using WDS. For more information, see Control and Extension Channels. Automatic enables Bandwidth : Specify radio frequency bandwidth, either 20MHz or 40MHz dual channel , that the access point will use if If the access point detects other adjacent wireless networks, it will use 20 MHz operation so as to not interfere with the networks.
If no other adjacent networks are detected, the access point will use 40MHz operation. Sideband for control channel : Displays which sideband the access point is using for the control channel, either Upper or Lower. Sideband channels are only applicable if your access point is operating at 40 MHz bandwidth and the These rates are only applicable when the Automatic If this is not selected, the This option is only visible when Legacy rate :Set the Physical Layer rate.
These features determine either normal speed rates or accelerated rates. Set the mode to None if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy Beacon Interval: The amount of time between beacon transmissions. A beacon is basically a heartbeat for a wireless client or access point, sending out a signal informing the network that it is still active. This should be set between 1 and milliseconds. The default beacon interval is ms. In a network with significant radio interference or large number of wireless devices on the same channel, reducing the RTS Threshold might help in reducing frame loss.
The RTS threshold is bytes by default, which is the maximum value. Fragmentation threshold : The maximum level the access point will reach when sending information in packets before the packets are broken up in fragments.
Typically, if you are experiencing problems sending information, it is because there is other traffic on the network and the data being transmitted is colliding. This might be corrected by the information being broken into fragments. The lower the level that the Fragmentation threshold is set to, the smaller a packet has to be before it is broken into fragments. If the maximum is set , fragmentation is essentially disabled. You should only change this level if you are an advanced user.
DTIM Interval : This parameter configures the amount of time after which buffered broadcast and multicast frames will be delivered to the wireless clients. This allows mobile stations to conserve power. If you are using applications which use broadcast or multicast frames for delivering data, you should use a Delivery Traffic Indication Message DTIM Interval of 1 to minimize delay for real-time traffic, such as multicast audio and video streams.
Preamble : Defines the length of the Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC block for communication between the access point and wireless clients. The sync field is used to indicate the delivery of a frame to wireless stations, to measure frequency of the radio signal, to perform corrections if needed. The SFD at the end of the Preamble is used to mark the start of the frame.
User profile for user: William Boyd, Jr. William Boyd, Jr. One point is that the encryption and password have to be the same of both base stations. Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. The AirPort Express has the latest 6. It will connect when configured to join a network, but it won't connect or appear in the Admin utility when configured for WDS. The setup is the same with the Linksys. The difference is that you add it manually instead of Apple's software only searching for other Apple hardware.
The convenience was nice for firmware updates to the Blu-Ray player. BD Live isn't that impressive. The iTunes streaming works flawlessly under WPA2. I will try to look for that in the specs.
