Preamble Type

Set the wireless radio preamble type. The

preamble type in 802.11 based wireless

communication defines the length of the

CRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check)block for

communication between the access point and

roaming wireless adapters. The default value is

“Short Preamble”.

Guard Interval

Set the guard interval.A shorter interval can

improve performance.

802.11g Protection

Enable/disable 802.11g protection, which

increases reliability but reduces bandwidth

(clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to

access point, and access point will broadcast

Clear to Send (CTS), before a packet is sent

from client.)

802.11n Protection

Enable/disable 802.11n protection, which

increases reliability but reduces bandwidth

(clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to

access point, and access point will broadcast

Clear to Send (CTS), before a packet is sent

from client.)

DTIM Period

Set the DTIM (delivery traffic indication

message) period value of the wireless radio.

The default value is 1.

RTS Threshold

Set the RTS threshold of the wireless radio. The

default value is 2347.

Fragment

Threshold

Set the fragment threshold of the wireless

radio. The default value is 2346.

Multicast Rate

Set the transfer rate for multicast packets or

use the “Auto” setting.

Tx Power

Set the power output of the wireless radio. You

may not require 100% output power.Setting a

lower power output can enhance security since

potentially malicious/unknown users in

distantareas will not be able to access your

signal.

Beacon Interval

Set the beacon interval of the wireless radio.

The default value is 100.

Station idle

timeout

Set the interval for keepalive messages from

the access point to a wireless client to verify if

the station is still alive/active.
