10.3 RF parameters

• Country: Select the corresponding country where the device is located.
- WMM: Wi-Fi Multimedia, when "Enabled", will provide the basic Quality of Service (QoS) functions. WMM prioritizes traffic based on four access categories (AC): voice (AC_VO), video (AC_VI), best effort (AC_BE), and background (AC_BK). However, it does not provide the guaranteed bandwidth range. It is suitable for well-defined applications that require QoS, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) on Wi-Fi phones.
- User Isolation: It is recommended to activate this function only if necessary, as if activated, all terminal devices connected via Wi-Fi will not be able to access each other after connection.
- Max Associated STA: Limit the number of devices that can connect to this AP, 40-50 is recommended.
- Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval could help your WiFi network maintain connection with other devices. It is recommended to keep the default values.
- RTS/CTS Threshold: The wireless AP sends request to send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving device and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the device responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to initiate transmission. It is recommended to keep the default values.
- Weak Signal Rejection Threshold: The AP will reject the connection to any wireless device that tries to connect with a signal strength lower than the set value.
- 2.4G / 5G Channel: 2.4G / 5G frequencies support automatic adaptation to allowed wifi channels according to the selected country code.
• 2.4G Bandwidth: Support 20/40/40 + / 40- MHz
• 5G Bandwidth: 20/40/40 + / 40- / 80MHz
- 2.4 / 5G TxPower: 2.4G supports up to 27dBm and 5G supports up to 23dBm.
