Channel Bandwidth Set the frequency bandwidth.
This setting is necessary when using 802.11n/b/g or 802.11n/a.

In a wireless network, bandwidth is divided up so that more devices can communicate at a time. Each section of bandwidth is called a ' channel ' and each channel has a bandwidth of 20MHz. If 40MHz is selected, larger and faster data transmission can be realized.

  • 40MHz (High speed)
    Uses double bandwidth.
    Two neighboring bandwidths are combined together for high speed transmission.
  • 20MHz (Standard)
    Uses standard (single) bandwidth.
    If your network becomes unstable when using 40MHz, change it to 20MHz (Standard).
40MHz
Channel Set the wireless channel. This setting is necessary when AccessPoint mode is selected as the network mode.

A channel is the divided frequency bandwidth. In a wireless network,  bandwidth is divided up so that more devices can communicate at a time. If your network becomes unstable due to interference with other wireless devices, it could be improved by changing the channel.

  • 1 - 13
    These channels are used when 802.11b/g or 802.11n/b/g is selected as the wireless mode.
  • 36, 40, 44, 48,52, 56, 60, 64,100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140
    These channels are used when 802.11a or 802.11n/a is selected as the wireless mode.

    Notes:
    If W53 or W56 channels are used when SX-ND4050G is turned on or a particular radar is detected, wireless communication will be lost for 1 minute.
36
Tx Power Set the transmission strength level.
This setting is necessary when AccessPoint mode is selected as the network mode.

When a lower strength level is selected, the radio transmission distance is shortened and the scope of search for SX-ND4050G will be narrowed down.
By narrowing down the scope of search, you can make it harder for SX-ND4050G to be detected from neighboring buildings or outside.


  • High
    Maximum transmission strength
    In most cases, this setting is used.
  • Middle
    Transmission strength lower than "High"
    Select this setting when you wish to narrow down the scope of search for SX-ND4050G.
  • Low
    Transmission strength lower than "Middle"
    Select this setting when you wish to narrow down the scope of search for SX-ND4050G.
