Advanced Settings
Performance

You can customize the network radio to fit your needs by tuning radio parameters in performance section. Performance functions are designed for advanced users who are familiar with 802.11 wireless networks and radio configuration.
Wireless Band
IEEE 802.11g is supported.
Frequency
The operation frequency display will change according to the channel selected.
Channel
By default, the AP is set to Auto Channel Scan. The channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize the wireless network.
Data Rate
Indicate the base transfer rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on the wireless local area network (WLAN). The default value is set to "Auto" which adjusts the base transfer rate depending on the base rate of the connecting device.
Beacon Interval (20-1000)
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DTIM (1-255)
DTIM Interval specifies the number of AP beacons between each Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). It informs associated stations of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. You can specify a DTIM value range from 1 to 255. The AP will send the next DTIM with specified DTIM value to stations if there is any buffered broadcast or multicast message. Stations hear the beacons and get ready to receive the broadcast or multicast messages. The default value for DTIM interval is 1.
Fragment Length (256-2346)
The default value is 2346 for fragmentation. By fragmenting packets into shorter fragments, the time spent on re-transmissions can be reduced if the packet error rate is high. However, unnecessary short fragment length will result in poor performance due to low transmission efficiency.
RTS Interval (1-2346)
The default value for request to send (RTS) threshold is 2346. With smaller RTS length value, the wireless network can recover from interference and collisions quicker since more RTS packets are transmitted. However, more RTS packets also consume more bandwidth, which leads to low throughput. Thus, small RTS Length value is only recommended for heavy loading network or high electromagnetic wireless interference.
Transmit Power
Transmitting power can be limited when wireless coverage overlapping is not desired or interference is a concern. The options are Full (default), Half (-3dB), Quarter (-6dB), Eighth (-9dB) or Min (minimum).
Radio
This function allows you to turn on or off 's radio. Default setting is "On".
WMM
WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia, features that improve the user experience for audio, video and voice applications over a Wi-Fi network. WMM is based on a subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. This is enabled by default.
Wireless B/G Mode
This function allows you to configure the wireless network with IEEE 802.11g only, IEEE 802.11b only, or IEEE 802.11g with backward interoperability with IEEE 802.11b.
Antenna Diversity (The default value is diversity)
The supports 2.4GHz radio with two antennas. Radio is connected to each antenna and supports auto diversity mode by default. This means that the access point will auto switch to the antenna with better RSSI value.

Diversity: | The will auto switch to the antenna with better RSSI value.
Left Antenna: | The AP will not switch antenna and the radio will use the left antenna (when facing the AP) to transmit and receive packets.
Right Antenna: | AP won't switch antenna and the radio will use the right antenna (when facing the AP) to transmit and receive packets.

Grouping

Load Balance
When Load Balance is enabled, it allows you to balance the distribution of wireless client connections across multiple access points.
User Limit (0-64)
Select user limit in this field, range from 0~64.
Link Integrate
When Link integrity is enabled, whenever the Ethernet connection between the LAN and the AP is disconnected, then the wireless segment associated with the AP will also be disconnected from the AP.

Multi-SSID

Multiple SSIDs is supported in only for AP mode. One primary SSID and at most 7 guests SSIDs can be configured to allow virtually segregation stations by sharing same channel.
Furthermore, you can enable VLAN State to allow DWL-2700AP to work with VLAN supported switches or other devices.
When the Primary SSID is set to Open System without encryption, the Guest SSIDs can only be set to no encryption, WEP, WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
When the Primary SSID's security is set to Open or Shared System WEP key, the Guest SSIDs can be set to use no encryption, use three other WEP keys, WPA-Personal, or WPA2-Personal.
When the Primary SSID's security is set to WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, or WPA-Auto-Personal, it will take the slot 2 and slot 3. The Guest SSIDs can be set to use no encryption, WEP, or WPA-Personal.
When the Primary SSID's security is set to WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise, or 802.1x, the Guest SSIDs can be set to use any security.

Filters

Ethernet MAC ACL
Access Control
can be configured to deny or only allow Ethernet stations association by filtering MAC addresses. By selecting "Accept", can only be associated with MAC addresses listed in the Authorization table. By selecting "Off", this function will be turned off.
MAC Address
Enter the MAC then click Apply to add it to the Access Control List.
Wireless MAC ACL
Wireless Band
IEEE 802.11g is supported.
Access Control
can be configured to deny or only allow wireless stations association by filtering MAC addresses. By selecting "Accept", can only be associated with MAC addresses listed in the Authorization table. By selecting "Reject", will only disassociate with MAC addresses listed.
Wireless IP ACL
Access Control
can be configured to deny wireless stations association by filtering IP addresses. By selecting "Off", this function will be turned off. By selecting "Reject", will only disassociate with IP addresses listed.
WLAN Partition
Wireless Band
IEEE 802.11g is supported.
Internal Station Connection
Internal Station Connection default value is "Enable" which allows stations to inter-communicate by connecting to target AP. By disabling this function, wireless stations cannot exchange data through AP.
Ethernet to WLAN Access
Ethernet to WLAN Access default value is "Enable" which allows data flow from the Ethernet to wireless stations connected to the AP. By disabling this function, all data from the Ethernet to associated wireless devices is blocked while wireless stations can still send data to the Ethernet through the AP.
