CTS Protection Mode
—CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function
boosts the router’s ability to catch all wireless transmissions, but severely
decrease performance. Keep the default setting,
Auto
, so the router can use
this feature as needed, when the Wireless-N/G products are not able to
transmit to the router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. Select
Disabled
if you want to permanently disable this feature.
•
Beacon Interval—
Indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon
is a packet broadcast by the router to keep the network synchronized. A
beacon includes the wireless networks service area, the router address, the
Broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator
Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM). The default is
100
ms.
•
DTIM Interval
—Indicates how often the router sends out a Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more efficient
networking, while preventing your personal computer from dropping into
power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow your personal computer to
enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions. The default is
1
ms.
•
RTS Threshold—
Determines how large a packet can be before the router
coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2346
. If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
