Wireless 5GHz: Advanced
Beacon Interval
Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a
Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
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.
Fragmentation 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.
