WCR-G300 / WCR-HP-G300 User Manual 49 Chapter 4 Configuration Parameter Meaning WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default settings is recommended. Priority The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and (Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of priority. CWmin, CWmax The maximum and minimum value of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally the smaller the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send. AIFSN The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window defined by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher. TXOP Limit The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0
(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send. WCR-G300 / WCR-HP-G300 User Manual 50 Chapter 4 Configuration MAC Filter MAC filtering allows only devices with registered MAC addresses to connect to the AirStation wirelessly. Parameter Meaning Enforce MAC Filtering Registration List

What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may affect this behavior. First, ensure the issue is not range related by locating the wireless router and the device dropping connection in closer proximity and check whether the connection drops continue. In some cases, interference from other wireless networks or sources such as 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact performance. To work around this scenario, change the wireless channel used by your wireless router. Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Config tab and then the Basic tab. The Wireless Channel setting can be selected from channels 1 to 11. If an Auto-Channel option is available, attempt to use this option to remedy the problem. If Auto-Channel is unavailable, manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply]. Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access the Internet with my web browser. Answer:
First, power off the Cable or DSL modem, the wireless router, and your computer. Move the router's mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the wireless router with an Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the wireless router and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally. If after these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power off the Cable or DSL modem and computer again and directly connect your computer to the Cable or DSL modem with a cable between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection. If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the Internet Service Provider who installed the modem. If an Internet connection IS available with a direct connection to the computer, please call our customer support. WCR-G300 / WCR-HP-G300 User Manual 90 Chapter 6 Trouble Shooting Issue:
