Chapter 1: Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the MM2211 Wireless Broadband Gateway. The MM2211 is a  
purpose-built home gateway designed to deliver the best possible connectivity from subscriber homes to  
Mesh Networks. Mesh Networks provide coverage across wide areas using a mesh distribution of access  
points based on standard Wi-Fi protocols.  
The installation uses outdoor high power Mesh routers to achieve coverage for outdoor wireless  
devices. Typically, the indoor coverage is inadequate to maintain an acceptable quality level for  
users within the home. The MM2211 is a Customer Premise Equipment to allow the extension of  
the Metro Wi-Fi signals to achieve a robust coverage within home. The MM2211 communicates  
with the Mesh Networks routers to allow home devices (such as PC or laptops) to access the  
Internet.

Air Quality Indicator  
The Air Quality indicator icon shows the current state of your Wireless connection. Air Quality is measured  
by the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value, which is a measurement of the wireless signal  
strength. A high RSSI value usually means that the wireless connection is stable, and quality data  
transmission can be achieved.

Air Quality Indicator  
The Air Quality Indicator examines the environment that surrounds a Ruckus Wireless, Inc. MM2211  
Gateway, and determines the amount of interference in the environment. The Radio Frequency (RF) side of  
a wireless device is a combination of a receiver and a transmitter. Both receiver and transmitter provide  
feedback as they operate. The Air Quality indicator bases its evaluation on the Received Signal Strength  
Indication (RSSI) that is returned as part of the 802.11 transmission acknowledgement. As the adapter  
receives an 802.11 packet, it sends the RSSI value to the remote AP.  
Thumb Up: Good air quality. The environment supports a quality data transmission.  
Thumb sideways: Marginal data transmission strength. The current environment may  
support data transmission, but it is possible that the data transmission quality may be  
marginal.  
Thumb down: Low data transmission strength. The current environment does not support  
acceptable data transmission.

Figure 6—System Configuration—Bridge Mode  
The System->Configuration window allows you to configure system mode—either Route or Bridge. In  
addition, this window allows you to configure IP address assignment and to change the username and  
password to access the device.  
Route mode provides the capability to perform NAT (network address translation) of the traffic from the  
Internet (WAN Interface) to the local interface. Route mode allows home users to hide the MM2211 IP  
address from the Internet. Using Route mode, multiple devices can be connected behind the Metro Wireless  
Access Gateway.  
Bridge mode allows the Wireless Access Gateway to act in Layer 2 (or bridge) mode. When the bridge mode  
is selected, the home PC's IP address will not be changed as it communicates with the Metro Mesh node. The  
Wireless Access Gateway will use the MAC address of the home PC as it sends the packet to the Metro Mesh  
Node. This mode is sometimes referring to as cloning mode. Using the Bridge mode, only a single device  
can be connected behind the Metro Wireless Access Gateway.  
3. Choose the system mode, either Route or Bridge.  
4. Enter your configuration changes in the appropriate fields.

Description  
Data Rate  
Select the desired data rate from the drop-down menu. The default is  
Best, which means the system will adjust the data rate automatically.  
Transmit Power  
Select the desired Adapter transmit power from the drop-down menu. We

The options are:  
•
•

Eighth (-9 dB)  
Minimum  
The default is Full.  
Fragment Length  
The fragment length. The range is between 256 and 2346 bytes. The  
default is 2346.  
The MM2211 Gateway uses fragmentation to divide 802.11 frames into  
smaller fragments which are sent separately to the destination. Only  
unicast frames can be fragmented. The fragment length can be between  
256-2346 bytes. If the data that the MM2211 Gateway is transmitting is  
larger than the threshold, it will trigger the fragmentation function. If the  
packet size is equal to or less than the threshold, the gateway will not use  
fragmentation. In a good wireless environment, the larger the fragment,  
the more efficient the network operates. In a noisy environment, the  
fragment length should be adjusted to a smaller size to minimize  
retransmission and increase the reliability of the transmission.  
RTS/CTS Threshold  
The RTS-CTS threshold range. The range is between 256 and 2346. The  
default is 2346.  
The RTS-CTS threshold is a value that determines at what frame length  
the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS-CTS) function is triggered. By  
default, this threshold is set at its highest value. A lower threshold value  
means that the RTS-CTS function is triggered for smaller frame lengths.  
A lower threshold may be necessary in environments with excessive  
signal noise or hidden nodes; but this may result in some performance  
degradation.
