Fragmentation Threshold
This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation
value too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
Interval 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 255.
Short GI
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also
increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to
radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation.
Extra Wireless Protection
Extra protection for neighboring 11b wireless networks. Turn this option off to reduce
the adverse effect of legacy wireless networks on 802.11ng performance.
WDS Enable
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able
to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is
incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS
link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link)
of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure
the APs are configured with same channel number.
WDS AP MAC Address
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address
of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP. Enter a MAC address for each of
the other APs that you want to connect with WDS.
