RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet
size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism.
Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the
RTS/CTS mechanism.
Fragment Threshold: It determines whether packets will be
fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets
exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into,
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand,
packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value
are not fragmented.
DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period.
This value determines at which interval the AP will send its
broadcast traffic. The default value is 3.
Rate: The default setting, Auto , allows the AP to automatically use
the fastest possible data rate. Selecting a specific rate forces the
AP to transmit at a particular speed.
Basic Rate Set: The Default option uses 1 or 2 Mbps for 802.11b
and 6, 12 or 24Mbps for 802.11g as the basic rate of your wireless
network. The
All option uses 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9,11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
or 54Mbps. The wireless clients must support the basic rate to
successfully associate with the AP.
54g

Mode: 54g is Broadcom’s latest wireless technology which
offers the fastest possible data rate of 54Mbps under 802.11g draft
specification. This item allows you to choose from these
communication options:
•
54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clietns can
communicate with this AP. The data rate will be
automatically adjusted.
•
54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can
communicate with the AP.
•
802.11b Only: Only 802.11b clients can communicate with
the AP.
