Fragment Specifies the size of the packet per fragment. This function can reduce
Threshold: the chance of packet collision.
However when this value is set too low, there will be increased
overheads resulting in poor performance.
RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, then the
packet will be sent without RTS/CTS handshake which may result in
incorrect transmission.
Beacon Interval: The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is
used to synchronize all wireless clients on the network.
DTIM Period: A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that
the access point will be sending Multi-casted data.
N Data Rate: You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients.
Each Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) refers to a specific transfer
speed.
Channel Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz.
Bandwidth: To achieve 11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used.
Preamble Type: A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the
client.
Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility.
Short Preamble is non-standard, so it decreases compatibility but
increases performance.
CTS Protection: When Enabled, the performance is slightly lower however the chances
of packet collision is greatly reduced.
Tx Power: Set the power output of the wireless signal.
