- Page 19 GC300N MANUAL improve broadcasting distance (default 25%) from 20‐200 meters (RF Output Power: 100%). ‐ Packet Threshold: This value is used to set the maximum size of packet a client can send. Smaller packets improve reliability, but they will decrease performance. Unless you’re facing problems with an unreliable network, reducing the fragmentation threshold is not recommended. Make sure it is set to the default settings (usually 2346). ‐ RTS Threshold: RTS stands for ‘Request to send’ and is send by the client to the access point – it essentially asks for permission to send the next data packet. The lower the threshold, the more stable your Wi‐Fi network, since it essentially asks more often when sending packages. However, if you don’t have problems with your Wi‐Fi you should make sure that the RTS Threshold is set to the maximum allowed. ‐ Ack Timeout control: 802.11 a/b/g wireless devices use a number of time constants, defined by the IEEE specifications, to sense other carriers using the wireless media and avoid collisions. ‐ Beacon interval: The lower the value, the smaller the time lag which means that the beacon is sent more frequently. The higher the value, the bigger the time lag which means that the beacon is sent broadcasted less frequently. ‐ Max user: Maximum simultaneous users can access device (number 0 for unlimited users). ‐ Coverage Threshold: This function allow GC1200ac’s antennas improving more sensitive to client devices. Which help GC1200ac can keep tight connection with clients and improving broadcasting distance. ‐ Aggregation (switch On/Off): Frame aggregation is a feature of the IEEE 802.11e, 802.11n and 802.11ac wireless LAN standards that increases throughput by sending two or more data frames in a single transmission. ‐ Short GI (switch On/Off): Guard Interval is intended to avoid signal loss from multipath effect. ‐ User isolation (switch On/Off): User Isolation is normally reserved for public hotspots. It isolates each user, so that other users of the hotspot cannot connect to your machine via the access point. This is great at public hot spots as someone could use the wireless network to hack your machine (Hence you should always use a personal firewall). ‐...
