Advanced Settings

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. The default value is 100.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 2 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of
the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor
modification should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented.
Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default
setting.
Select either Long or Short. The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)
block for communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters. High network traffic
areas should use Short preamble type.
Select either None or CTS-to-Self Protection. Select the CTS-to-Self Protection to enable CTS-to-Self
protection mechanism, which is used to minimize collisions among stations in a mixed 802.11b & g
environment. The default selection is None.
