Beacon Interval: This is the interval of time that the router broadcasts a beacon
used to synchronize the wireless network. The range for the beacon period is
between 20 and 1000 milliseconds, with a typical value of 100.
RTS/CTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold,
the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. The
range is from 1500 to 2347 .
Fragmentation Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during
the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If this value is set too low, it will
result in bad performance. enter a value from 256 to 2346.
DTIM: The delivery Traffic Indication Message (dTIM) determines the interval
in which the access point will send its broadcast traffic. The range is from 1 to
255, and the default value is 3 beacons.
Wireless Mode: There are several options here.
• 802.11b – The router will only allow 802.11b wireless network clients to
connect to it. (Maximum transfer rate is 11 Mbps.)
• 802.11g – The router will only allow 802.11g wireless network clients to
connect to it. (Maximum transfer rate is 54 Mbps.)
• 802.11b+g – The router will only allow 802.11b or 802.11g wireless network
clients to connect to it. (Maximum transfer rates as listed above.)
• 802.11n – The router will only allow 802.11n wireless network clients to
connect to it. (Maximum transfer rate is 300 Mbps.)
• 802.11g+n – The router will only allow 802.11g or 802.11n wireless network
clients to connect to it. (Maximum transfer rates as listed above.)
• 802.11b+g+n – The router will allow 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n wireless
network clients to connect to it. (Maximum transfer rates as listed above.)
NOTE: For 802.11b and 802.11g modes, the signals can be transmitted only
by antenna 1 (the antenna on the right side of the rear panel). For 802.11n
mode, the router is operating in a 2T3R Spatial Multiplexing MIMo configuration:
Two antennas are for signal transmitting; three antennas are for signal receiving.
11n SETTINGS
Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel width of the wireless radio. CAUTION:
do not modify the default value ("20/40 MHz") if you aren't familiar with this
function.
Extension Channel: Select "above..." or "below the control channel" while "40
MHz" is set as the channel bandwidth. CAUTION: do not modify the default
value if you aren't familiar with this function.
Guard Interval: This is one of several draft-n features designed to improve
efficiency. Select "400nsec" to provide a shorter delay between transmission
frames in the 11n network. The throughput in the 400nec guard interval is better
than the 800nsec guard interval.
