# Recommended Settings for Cell-based/AWC-CB VAPs

When designing a cell-based (non-blanket) or AWC-CB wireless LAN using TQ5403/5403e/6602/6602 GEN2/6702 GEN2/7403/6403 GEN2/3403 and TQm5403/6602 GEN2/6702 GEN2/3403, the following settings are recommended to ensure a stable wireless network.
Default settings are recommended for setting items not listed in this table. These are only recommended values, and you may need to adjust the settings depending on your environment.

RTS Threshold | AP Profile | Per Band | 2347 (default) | 2347 (required, default) |
Band Steering | AP Profile | Whole AP | Disable (default) | Disable (required, default) |
NoAck | - | Per Band | Disable (default) | Enable (default) | Disable (default) | Disable (default) | Enable (default) | Disable (default) | If a AP that has been used as a standalone is added to the management, check the settings on the Web GUI of the AP itself (Settings > QoS) and change them to the defaults shown on the left.
APSD | AP Profile | Per Band | Disable (default) | Enable (default) | Disable (default) | Disable (default) | Enable (default) | Disable (default) |
Neighbor AP Detection | AP Profile | Per Band | One Channel if Neighbor AP Detection is used Disable if neither Neighbor AP Detection (including IDS/IPS) nor AWC auto calc (auto channel selection) is used Disable for IP telephony or video system | One Channel if Neighbor AP Detection is used Neighbor AP detection (including IDS/IPS) is not used: Disabled Disable for IP telephony or video system |
MU-MIMO | AP Profile | Per Band | - | Enable | - | Not Supported, Disable (required, default) | Enable |
OFDMA | AP Profile | Per Band | - | Enable | - | Not Supported, Disable (required, default) | Enable |
Management Frame Protection (MFP) | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | WPA2: Capable (default) WPA2+WPA3: Capable (default) WPA3: Required (default) | Enable | WPA2: Capable (default) WPA2+WPA3: Capable (default) WPA3: Required (default) | Disable (mandatory) | Disable (mandatory) | WPA2: Disable (mandatory) WPA2+WPA3: Capable (mandatory, default) WPA3: Required (mandatory, default) | If both "WPA2" and "WPA" are selected for the WPA version, "Disable" is an only option.
Broadcast Key Refresh Rate | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | 0 (default) | Not Supported, 0 (required, default) |
RADIUS Accounting | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | Disable (default) | Not Supported, Disable (required, default) |
Dynamic VLAN | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | Disable | Disable (default) | Not Supported, Disable (required) | Disable (default) |
Fast Roaming | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | Disable (default) | Not Supported, Disable (required, default) | Disable (default, IEEE802.11r is only supported) |
Inactivity Timer | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | 300 (default) | Not Supported, 300 (required, default) | 300 (default) |
Duplicate AUTH received | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | Ignore | - | Ignore | Ignore | - | Ignore | For TQ6602 GEN2/TQ6702 GEN2, selecting "Disconnect" in the CB profile works the same as selecting "Ignore". This feature does not function when Management Frame Protection is enabled, so it is recommended to keep the default setting as "Disconnect".
Association Advertisement | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP (in the case of AWC-CB, all CB VAPs in the relevant radio band.) | Enable | Disable in environments where roaming does not occur because the system operates with a single Channel Blanket Enable in environments where roaming to a different Channel Blanket or a different AP occurs |
DTIM Period | AP Profile/ CB Profile | Per VAP | Normal: 1 (default) When expecting to reduce device battery consumption: 3 | Normal: 1 (default) When expecting to reduce device battery consumption: 3 |
