"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of packet during the
Fragment Threshold
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result
in bad performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use
the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to
synchronize the wireless network.
The "Data Rate" is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets. The
Data Rate
access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit
the data packets.
Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless
communication. "Short Preamble" is suitable for high traffic wireless network.
"Long Preamble" can provide more reliable communication.
If you enable "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station located within the
Broadcast ESSID
coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are
building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended.
Disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security.
If you enable "IAPP", the access point will automatically broadcast information of
IAPP
associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help wireless station
roaming smoothly between access points. If you have more than one access
points in your wireless LAN and wireless stations have roaming requirements,
enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling "IAPP" can provide better
security.
