Section 3 - Configuration
You can lower the output power of the router
by selecting lower percentage Transmit Power
values from the drop down. Your choices are:
100%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5%.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point
to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a
Beacon interval value between 20 and 1000.
The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow,
only minor modifications to the value range
between 256 and 2346 are recommended.
The default value for RTS Threshold is set to
2346.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may
slightly increase your “Fragmentation” value within the value range of 1500 to 2346. Setting the Fragmentation
value too low may result in poor performance.
Enter a value between 1 and 255 for 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 Access
Point 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. The
default value for DTIM interval is set to 1.
