Repeater Mode Security; Wep - TRENDnet TEW-653AP User Manual

Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless
devices. Specify a Beacon Interval value between 25 and 1000. The default value is set to 100
milliseconds.
DTIM Period: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Period value. Wireless clients
detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value
is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 10.
Data rate: You may select a data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is recommended to select
auto. This is also known as auto-fallback.
Preamble Type: Select a short or long preamble. For optimum performance it is recommended to
also configure the client device as the same preamble type.
CTS Protection: CTS (Clear to Send) can be always enabled, auto, or disabled. By enabled CTS,
the Access Point and clients will wait for a 'clear' signal before transmitting. It is recommended to
select auto.
