Wireless Advanced

Choose menu "Wireless→Wireless Advanced", and then you can configure the advanced
settings of your wireless network.
Transmit Power - Here you can specify the transmit power of Router. You can select
High, Middle or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is
recommended.
Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here.
The beacons are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network.
Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is
100.
RTS Threshold - Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the
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 is the maximum size determining whether
packets will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in
poor network performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting 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.
