Choose Wireless -> Wireless Advanced from the menu; you can then
configure the advanced settings of your wireless network.
Figure 50: Wireless Advanced
Transmit Power - Here you can specify the transmit power of the
◆
Router. You can select High, Middle, or Low. High is the default setting
and is recommended.
Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for the
◆
Beacon Interval. The beacons are packets sent by the router to
synchronize a wireless network. The Beacon Interval value determines
the time interval of beacons. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold - Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If a
◆
packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will
send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the
sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.
Fragmentation Threshold - This value determines the maximum size
◆
before packets are fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor network performance since excessive
packets may be sent. The default setting is 2346 and is recommended.
DTIM Interval - This value determines the interval of the Delivery
◆
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon
Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is
the same as Beacon Interval.
Enable WMM - The WMM function guarantees that packets with high-
◆
priority messages are transmitted before other packets. It is strongly
recommended to enable this feature.
Enable Short GI - This function is recommended, since it increases
◆
the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.
