Portal authentication enhances the network security by providing authentication service to the
clients that just need temporary access to the wireless network. Such clients have to log into a
web page to establish verification, after which they will access the network as guests. What's
more, you can customize the authentication login page and specify a URL which the newly
authenticated clients will be redirected to. Please refer to
Authentication Policy
is from 1 to 2347 bytes. The default value is 2347, which means that RTS is
disabled.
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger
than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several
packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless
performance caused by the excessive packets. The recommended and default
value is 2346 bytes.
Airtime Fairness is a feature that boost the overall network performance by
sacrifice a little bit of network time on your slowest devices. The relatively "slow"
wifi speed devices can be slow from either long physical distance, weak signal
strength, or simply being a legacy device with older technology. The setting takes
away the monopoly in network time by the slower device (making the slower
device even slower), dedicate and shift those processing time to the faster device
to achieve better overall network performance.
