2. Environmental factors The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operating range of WAP-7000 in a specific location without testing. 3. Antenna adjustment Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used on WAP-7000. When you use directional antennas to communicate between two bridges, you mus

Super Bridge Mode Super Bridge Mode provides three mechanisms to improve the bridge throughput. Compression: Frame is compressed by hardware before transmitting. Note that the compression may save bandwidth but would consume frame process time. In case of the data is already compressed (eg. mpeg frame), please do NOT turn on this function. Bursting: Turning on Bursting function enables multiple frames are transmitted at SIFS intervals, which may reduce transmission overhead. Fast Frame: T
