Advanced

This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are Channel Bandwidth, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router.

wallmount range extender N300 SITECOM Home Wizard Basic Settings Advanced Settings Toolbox Choose your language Security Advanced WPS These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your WLX-2003. Fragment Threshold: 2346 (256-2346) RTS Threshold: 2347 (0-2347) Beacon Interval: 100 (20-1000 ms) DTIM Period: 3 (1-10) Data rate: Auto N Data rate: Auto Channel Bandwidth: ○ Auto 20/40 MHZ ● 20 MHZ Preamble Type: ○ Short Preamble ● Long Preamble Broadcast ESSID: ○ Enable ● Disable CTS Protection: ○ Auto ● Always ● None Tx Power: 100 % Apply Cancel

Fragment Threshold Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. The default value is 2346.

RTS Threshold Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. The default value is 2347.

Beacon Interval Set the beacon interval of wireless radio. The default value is 100.

DTIM Period Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. The default value is 3.

Data Rate Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it's not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after modification.

N Data Rate Set the data rate of 802.11 N clients, available options are MCS 0 to MCS 15. It's safe to set this option to 'Auto' and it's not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after modification.

Channel Width Select wireless channel width (bandwidth taken by wireless signals of this access point). It's suggested to select 'Auto 20/40MHz'. Do not change to '20 MHz' unless you know what it is.

Preamble Type Set the type of preamble of wireless radio. The default setting is 'Short Preamble'.

Broadcast ESSID Decide if the wireless access point will broadcast its own ESSID or not. You can hide the ESSID of your wireless access point (set the option to 'Disable'), so only people who know the ESSID of your wireless access point can get connected.

WMM WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology, which can improve the performance of certain network applications, like audio/video streaming, network telephony (VoIP), and others. When you enable WMM, the access point will define the priority of different kinds of data, to give higher priority to applications which require instant response. Therefore you can improve the performance of such network applications.

CTS Protect Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of radio signal collisions between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless access points. It's recommended to set this option to 'Auto'.

TX Power You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless you're using this wireless access point in a really big space, you may not have to set output power to 100%. This will enhance security (malicious / unknown users on a distance will not be able to reach your wireless access point).

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don't have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you.

The Push button on the WLX-5000 has 2 functions:

Client mode: If you push the button for 0-5 seconds the device acts as a WPS enrollee. In this mode it's set to connect to your existing Wireless network. You have to push the button on your router within 2 minutes.

AP mode: If you push the button for 5-10 seconds the device acts as a WPS registrar. In this mode it's set to connect client devices to the WLX-5000. You have to push the button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client within 2 minutes.

If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router.
