Set Your Router Date And Time - TRENDnet TEW-812DRU User Manual

TRENDnet User's Guide
• Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about
the router's wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each
beacon transmission.
Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)
• DTIM: 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.
• Fragment Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments)
to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF
coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the
Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346
bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
• RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking
protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending
the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called
Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size
allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347)
• Short Preamble: 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.
• Xpress™ Technology: A frame bursting technology used to improve wireless
performance. The feature will only work with other Xpress™ supported devices. It is
recommended to leave this feature On.
• MCS: Select the speed you would like your wireless network to operate.
Note: It is recommended to keep the default setting – Auto.
