Hercules Wireless N Access Point
5. WIFI MANAGER N FOR ADVANCED USERS
WiFi Manager N has been designed to respond to the needs of the widest cross-section of the public. Thus,
after having explained the most useful functionalities in the previous chapters, we dedicate this chapter to
users who wish to take advantage of the subtleties of WiFi, and explore their access point's more advanced
functionalities. But be careful! Modifying certain settings may have a negative impact on the proper
functioning of your network, and therefore on your access point. You should bear in mind, however, that
nothing is irreversible, and that you can always return to the original configuration or reload a personalized
configuration.
In certain cases, your settings will only be taken into account after WiFi Manager N has restarted.
5.1. Configuring your WiFi network's advanced options

know their functions, we recommend that you keep the default settings.

WiFi connection settings button.
- In the Your WiFi connection settings window,

- The Fragmentation threshold consists of defining
the size at which data packets are fragmented. If
the size is less than the predefined amount, the
packet is not fragmented. By contrast, if the size is
greater, the packet is fragmented before being
transmitted, then reconstituted at the access point.
Fragmentation lets you improve the success of
transmissions.
- When an RTS threshold is defined, the wireless
device asks the
access point
transmit data, thereby avoiding data arriving
simultaneously (risk of collision).
Modifying the RTS threshold may affect your access
point's performance.
- The Beacon Period allows you to define the
wireless network detection interval.
- The
DTIM
interval
interval between two synchronous frames containing
information on the transmission messages.
