Enter the interval for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message

The default value is .
Here, you select how the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be

If you choose
the data packet length threshold in bytes (1 - 2346) as of which
the RTS/CTS mechanism is to be used. This makes sense if
several clients that are not in each other's wireless range are
run in one access point. The mechanism can also be switched
on/off independently of the data packet length by selecting the
value or
Enable this function to reduce the guard interval (= time
between transmission of two data symbols) from 800 ns to 400
ns.
Enter the maximum number of attempts to send a frame. This

Threshold. After this many failed attempts, the packet is dis-
