NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 Reference Manual
• Fragmentation Length (256 - 2346): This is the maximum packet size used for
fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented.
The Fragmentation threshold value must be larger than the RTS threshold value. The
default is 2346.
• Beacon Interval (100 - 1000): The Beacon Interval. Specifies the interval time between
100ms and 1000ms for each beacon transmission, which allows the access point to
synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100.
• Aggregation Length (1024-65535) (11ng): The aggregation length defines the size of
aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths may sometimes lead to better network
performance. The default is 65535.
• A-MPDU (11ng): Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit. Aggregates several MAC frames
into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled.
• RIFS Transmission (11ng): Reduced Interframe Space. RIFS transmissions are shorter
than other interframe spaces, and if enabled allow transmission of successive frames at
different transmit powers. The default is disabled.
• DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Specifies the data beacon rate
between 1 and 255. The default is 3.
• Preamble Type (11b/bg only): A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable
connection or a slightly longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance.
The Auto settings automatically handles both long and short preambles. The default is
Auto.
• 802.11d: Enable this option to include support for "additional regulatory domains" that are
not in the current standard.
• Max Wireless Clients: The number of wireless clients that can associate with the AP at
one time. The default is 20.

Configuring Advanced QoS Settings

Wireless Multimedia Extension (WME) or Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e
standard. WME allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data.
Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For
WME to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WME.
