Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Wireless Tab
DTIM Interval—Indicates how often the Wireless Router sends out a Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more efficient networking, while preventing your PC
from dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow your PC to enter sleep
mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless transmissions. The default is 1 ms.
RTS Threshold— Determines how large a packet can be before the Wireless Router
coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication. This value should
remain at its default setting of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended.
Change these settings as described here and click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click
Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Help information is displayed on the right-hand side

allowing traffic from different sources to be segmented. Combined with the multiple SSID
feature, this provides a powerful tool to control access to your LAN.

AP Management VLAN—Define the VLAN ID used for management.

U-APSD(WMM Power Save)—Select Enabled or Disabled as required.
