4.4.5 Configuring Advanced Network Settings

Configure the advanced wireless settings for your access point using the screens in this section. Leave these settings as their default
values if you are not sure what values to enter.
Data Rate
Select a data rate from the drop-down list. The data rate
affects throughput. If you select a lower data rate value for
example, the throughput is reduced but the transmission
distance increases.
Transmit Power
Lets you increase or decrease transmit power. Higher
transmit power may prevent connections to the network, while
a lower transmit power can prevent clients from connecting to
the device.
RTS/CTS Threshold
Specifies the threshold package size for RTC/CTS. A small number causes RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often and consumes
more bandwidth.
Distance
Specifies the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop high-speed connections.
Aggregation
Merges data packets into one packet. This option reduces the number of packets, but increases packet sizes.
