5.4.2  Bridge / Repeater Mode
Use this screen to have the NWA act as a wireless network bridge and establish wireless links with 
other APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge 
mode. 
A-MPDU 
aggregation 
This field is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected as the Wireless Mode. Select 
Enable to allow the grouping of several A-MSDUs (Aggregate MAC Service Data Units) 
into one large A-MPDU (Aggregate MAC Protocol Data Unit). This function allows faster 
data transfer rates.
Short GI 
This field is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected as the Wireless Mode. Select 
Enable to use Short GI (Guard Interval). The guard interval is the gap introduced 
between data transmission from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the GI 
increases data transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the GI reduces 
data transfer rates but also reduces interference.
Rates 
Configuration
This section controls the data rates permitted for clients. 
For each Rate, select an option from the Configuration list. The options are:
Basic (1~11 Mbps only): Clients can always connect to the access point at this speed.
Optional: Clients can connect to the access point at this speed, when permitted to do 
so by the AP.
Disable: Clients cannot connect to the access point at this speed.
MCS Table
The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11 b/g/n is selected in the 802.11 
Wireless Mode 
field.
IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called MCS rates. MCS stands 
for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless 
network performance in terms of throughput. 
For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have the NWA use the data 
rate. Select Disable if you do not want the NWA to use the data rate.
