• Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about
the router's wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each
beacon transmission.
Default Value: 100 milliseconds (range: 25-1000)
• DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with
a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive
the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are
between 1 and 255.
• Fragment Threshold: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments)
to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF
coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the
Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346
bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
• RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking
protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending
the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called
Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size
allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347)
• TX Power: Select the wireless transmit power of your wireless router.
• Short Preamble: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.
However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased
sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your
installation.
• Short Slot: Is the time the device waits before retransmitting a packet after a
collision.
• 20/40 Coexistence: Allows legacy wireless clients to connect to your wireless
network.
• Guard Interval: Allows distinct wireless packets to no interfere with each other.
• MCS: Modulation and coding scheme, defines the transmission rate of your wireless
router.
• Extension Channel: Allows you to select your wireless router's extended channel
when higher wireless bandwidth is used.
