Description
Select the Enable radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC
frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabling
the aggregated MAC protocol data unit (A-MPDU) could lead to better
network performance. By default, the Enable radio button is selected.
Select the Enable radio button to allow transmission of successive
frames at different transmit powers. Enabling reduced interframe space
(RIFS) could lead to better network performance. By default, the
Disable radio button is selected.
Enter the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) interval, also
referred to as the data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon
delivery traffic indication message period in multiples of beacon
intervals. This value needs to be between 1 and 255. The default
setting is 3.
Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the antenna:
• Internal. Enables the internal antenna. This is the default setting.
• External. Enables an optional external antenna or antennas.
Select this check box to enable support for additional regulatory
domains that are not in the current standard; support includes the
addition of a country information element to beacons, probe requests,
and probe responses. This check box is selected by default.
From the menu, select one of the following options:
• Enable. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated to different virtual access points (VAPs) is blocked.
• Disable. Communication between wireless clients that are
associated to different VAPs is allowed. This is the default setting.
Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously
connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is
128 clients.
Frame-burst support boosts the downstream throughput. It is disabled
by default.
Select the multicast traffic transmission rate you want the AP to
support. The default value is Auto. For 2.4GHz radio, Auto value is 1
Mbps. For 5GHz radio, Auto value is 6 Mbps.
Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting may improve overall
network performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted
across the network.
By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled.
The default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second.
The default and maximum rate limit burst setting is 75 packets per
second.
