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: This setting allows you to adjust the wireless transmit power to a lower
setting. In busy wireless environments, lowering the transmit power may improve
better performance and connectivity and decrease interference with neighboring
wireless networks.
 Short Preamble: Using a short preamble can potentially increase throughput as the
transfer time is 96 microseconds versus the more commonly used long preamble
192 microseconds. However, using a short preamble is not supported using 802.11b
legacy devices, in some cases cause wireless interoperability issues, and increase
the error rate in some installations. The preamble is the info. sent from the wireless
transmitter to the receiver indicating when data is incoming.
 Short Slot: Short Slot Override defines the amount of time a device waits after a
data frame collision before retransmitting the data. Reducing the time from 20
microseconds (standard) to 9 microseconds can potentially increase throughput
however, can also increase the error rate.
 Tx Burst:

Change your router login password

Advanced > Setup > Management
1. Log into the management page (see
2. Click on Advanced and click on Setup, then click on Management.

management page before automatically logging out.
4. To save changes, click Apply.
Note: If you change the router login password, you will need to access the router
management page using the User Name "admin" and the new password instead of the
predefined default password. If you reset the device to defaults, you will need to access
the router management page use the predefined settings on the side or bottom labels.

Reset your router to factory defaults

You may want to reset your router to factory defaults if you are encountering difficulties
with your router and have attempted all other troubleshooting. Before you reset your
router to defaults, if possible, you should backup your router configuration first, see
"Backup and restore your router configuration
