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 feature is
enabled.
Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The range is from 256 to 2346. The default
is 2346.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the radio uses the Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism and the data
frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger than
the RTS threshold, the system uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting device sends the RTS packet to the receiving
device and waits for the receiving device to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before
sending the actual packet data.
Enter the maximum packet size that is used for fragmentation of data packets. The range
is from 256 to 2346. The default is 2346. The fragmentation length must be an even
number.
Packets that are larger than the specified fragmentation length are broken up into smaller
packets before being transmitted.
Select the Enable radio button to allow frame bursts. Frame bursts can increase the
downstream throughput. By default, the feature is disabled.
Select the Long radio button for a long transmit preamble, which can provide a more
reliable connection or a slightly longer range. Select the Short radio button for a short
transmit preamble, which can provide a better performance. The default is Long.
You can set the preamble type for the 2.4 GHz radio but not for the 5 GHz radio.
Move the slider to specify the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) interval or the
data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon delivery traffic indication message period
in multiples of beacon intervals. This value must be between 1 and 255. The default is
1.
Multicast and broadcast rate limiting is enabled by default to improve the overall network
performance by limiting the number of packets that are transmitted across the network.
By default, the setting is 50 (the maximum possible value), which specifies a maximum
rate limit of 50 packets per second. To change the setting, move the slider. To disable
multicast and broadcast rate limiting, clear the small check box.
From the menu, select the multicast traffic transmission rate for the radio. The default is
54 Mbps (the maximum possible value). You can also select Auto and let the access
point automatically adjust the multicast traffic transmission rate.
