multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM
with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and
awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The
range is 256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a
packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The
range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The AP sends
Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station
and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an
RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS)
frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
This value ranges from 1 - 100 percent, default value is 100
percent. A safe increase of up to 60 percent would be suitable
for most users. Higher power settings are not recommended for
users due to excess heat generated by the radio chipset, which
can affect the life of the AP.
If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b devices in your network, then
keep the default setting, BG Mixed mode. If you have only
Wireless-G devices, select G Mode. If you would like to limit
your network to only 802.11b devices, then select B Mode. If you
would like to use 802.11a devices then select A only mode.
The default setting is Auto. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps.
The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the
speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of
transmission speeds, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have
the AP automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable
the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best
possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client.
