Additional Wireless Settings - TRENDnet TEW-818DRU User Manual

TRENDnet User's Guide
For additional routers, make sure to disable the DHCP server first on all additional
routers and configure the LAN IP address to be different on each router. You will
connect devices to the LAN ports 1-4 only on all additional routers and the WAN port is
not used. Then, repeat the steps for additional routers you are bridging.

Additional wireless settings

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Advanced
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced
wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to
their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these
values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
To configure multiple SSID on your router:
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 17).
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Select wireless band you would like to configure, Wireless 2.4GHz or Wireless 5GHz
and click on Multiple SSID.

• 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.
