Option Description
Beacon Interval (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.
Data Beacon Rate (The default value is 1.) The value indicates the interval of the
(DTIM) 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.
RTS/CTS Threshold (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.
5. Click Update Settings to save and apply the changes. A confirmation message
appears at the top of the page.
