Advanced Wireless Setting

Beacon Interval
When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval, which
specifies the period of time before it will send the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on
the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle the beacon.
Network managers can adjust the beacon interval, usually measured in milliseconds (ms)
RTS threshold (Request-to-Send Threshold)
The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of an RTS transmission. This helps control traffic flow
through an access point, especially one with many clients.
Fragment
In networking, a packet whose size exceeds the bandwidth of the network is broken into smaller pieces
called fragments.
