Section 2 - Configuration
TX Rates:
Select the transmission rate for the network.
Transmit Power: Choose 100%, 50%(-3dB), 25% (-6dB), or
12.5% (-9dB).
Beacon Interval:
Beacons are packets sent by an access point
to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a
beacon interval value. The default value 100
is recommended.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting
of 2,432. If you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor modifications to the
value range between 256 and 2,432 are
recommended.
Fragmentation:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly
decrease your fragmentation threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the fragmentation threshold too
low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval
A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
(Beacon Rate):
and multicast messages. The default vaule is 3 and the possible range of vaules is between 1 and 255.
Mode Setting: For the fastest speed, select G Mode to include only 802.11g devices in your network. Select Mixed Mode to include
802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network.
Preamble Type: Select Short or Long Preamble. The default setting in Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block
(Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between
the access point and roaming wireless network adapters. Note: High network traffic areas should use the short preamble
type.
WMM: WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is only available in Access Point Mode. WMM provides basic QoS (Quality of Service) functions
for wireless networks. WMM prioritizes traffic based on the 4 AC (Access Categories) of voice, video, best effort, and
background. However, WMM does not provide guaranteed throughput.
