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 router'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 router. 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
This window contains the settings which affect the functioning of your Hercules router. If you do not
know their functions, we recommend that you keep the default settings.
- 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
data, thereby avoiding data arriving simultaneously (risk of collision).
Modifying the RTS threshold may affect your router's performance.
- The Beacon Period allows you to define the wireless network detection interval.
- The DTIM interval corresponds to the interval between two synchronous frames containing information on
the transmission messages.
- The Data Rate corresponds to the speed at which data packets are transferred, both being sent and
received. It is set to Auto by default, but can be adjusted from 1Mbps (min) to 54Mbps (max).
- On the WiFi Manager N home page, click the
Expert mode button.
- In the WiFi network tab, click the Expert WiFi
settings option.
