Beacon Interval
Specify the Beacon Interval value. Enter a value between 1 and 1000.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless
network.
RTS Threshold
Use this field to specify a value for the RTS Threshold. Enter a value
between 256 and 2432.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2,432. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold
This field is used to specify the fragmentation threshold. Enter a value
between 256 and 2346.
If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase your
Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting
of 2,346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor
performance.
DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate)
Specify the Beacon Rate. Enter a value between 1 and 255 that specifies
the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for
associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast
messages.
SSID Broadcast
Enables and disables a Service Set Identifier broadcast.
When enabled, the SSID of the Access Point is sent to wireless
enabled devices on the LAN.
Transmission (TX) Rates
Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless
adapters on the WLAN (wireless local area network). |
