Guard Interval

The guard intervals ensure that individual transmissions do not interfere with one another. The wireless 802.11n AP provides a shorter guard interval that increases the channel throughput. You can select the guard interval to improve the channel efficiency. The guard interval is selected from the Guard Interval drop-down list. Longer guard periods reduce the channel efficiency.
