Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. Do not
modify default value if you don't know what it is,
default value is 3
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain
value. Since most of wireless devices will negotiate
with each other and pick a proper data transfer
rate automatically, it's not necessary to change
this value unless you know what will happen after
modification.
Set the data rate of 802.11 Draft-N clients,
available options are MCS 0 to MCS 15, it's safe to
set this option to 'Auto' and it's not necessary to
change this value unless you know what will
happen after modification.
Select wireless channel width (bandwidth taken by
wireless signals of this access point). It's suggested
to select 'Auto 20/40MHz'. Do not change to '20
MHz' unless you know what it is.
Set the type of preamble of wireless radio, Do not
modify default value if you don't know what it is,
default setting is 'Short Preamble'.
Decide if the wireless access point will broadcast
its own ESSID or not. You can hide the ESSID of
your wireless access point (set the option to
'Disable'), so only people those who know the
ESSID of your wireless access point can get
connected.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) technology, which can
improve the performance of certain network
applications, like audio/video streaming, network
telephony (VoIP), and others. When you enable
WMM function, the access point will define the
priority of different kinds of data, to give higher
priority to applications which require instant
responding. Therefore you can improve the
performance of such network applications.
Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of
radio signal collisions between 802.11b and
37
