Click on Advanced link under the Wireless drop-down menu. This page allows you
to configure the fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold, beacon period, transmit
power, DTIM Period, etc.
Fragment Threshold: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between 256 and 2346.
The default value is 2346.
RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from
degrading the performance. Specify a value between 0 and 2347. The default value
is 2347.
Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to
synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1024.
The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DTIM Period: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next
DTIM with a DTIM Period 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 10.
Data Rate: You may select a data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is
recommended to select auto. This is also known as auto-fallback.
N Data Rate: You may select a data rate for 802.11n from the drop-down list,
however, it is recommended to select auto. This is also known as auto-fallback.
