Advanced settings are described below. (Access Point mode only)
Tx Power Set the transmitter power level. The default is the maximum power, 31dBm.
Beacon Interval Set the interval between beacon packets. Access Points broadcast Beacons
or Traffic Indication Messages (TIM) to synchronize wireless networks. In an
environment with high interference, decreasing the Beacon Interval might
improve network performance. In a location with few wireless nodes, you
can increase this value.
RTS Threshold The Request to Send (RTS) threshold sets the time the unit waits for Clear
to Send (CTS) acknowledgement from another wireless device.
Fragmentation Set the maximum size of a data packet before it is broken into two or more
packets. Reducing the threshold can improve performance in environments
