Description
(The default value is 100.) The value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon in milliseconds. A
beacon is a broadcast packet sent by the AP to
synchronize the wireless network.
(The default value is 1.) The value indicates the interval
of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). This
is a countdown field that the device uses to inform its
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast or
multicast messages.
(The default value is 65535.) This option determines at
what packet length the RTS/CTS function is triggered.
A lower threshold may be necessary in an environment
with excessive signal noise or hidden nodes, but may
result in some performance degradation.
