Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
• RTS Threshold—Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger than the specified RTS
Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The
default value is 2346.
• Fragmentation Threshold—This value is the maximum size that determines whether packets will be fragmented. Setting the
Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default
setting and is recommended.
• DTIM Interval—This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown
field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the
value between 1–15 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
• Enable WMM—The WMM function guarantees that packets with high-priority messages are transmitted preferentially. It is
strongly recommended.
• Enable Short GI—We recommend this function because it will increase the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.
• Enabled AP Isolation—This function isolates wireless stations on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to
communicate with the router but not with each other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.
NOTE: If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, we strongly recommend that you keep the provided default
values; otherwise, it may result in lower wireless network performance.
5.7.6 Wireless Statistics
Choose menu “Wireless —> Wireless Statistics,”, then you can see the MAC Address, Current Status, Received Packets, and Sent
Packets for each connected wireless station.
Figure 5-46. Wireless Statistics.
• MAC Address—The connected wireless station‘s MAC address.
• Current Status—The connected wireless station's running status.
• Received Packets—Packets received by the station.
• Sent Packets—Packets sent by the station.
