the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the router and a wireless client
。
Transmission Fixed Rate
：
The default setting is Auto. The range is from 1
to 54Mbps. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the
speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of
transmission speeds, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have the router
automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-
Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the router and a wireless client.
CTS Protection Mode
：
The default value is disabled. When set to Auto, a
protection mechanism will ensure that your Wireless-B devices will
connect to the Wireless-G router when many Wireless-G devices are
present. However, performance of your Wireless-G devices may be
decreased.
Frame Burst
：
The default value is disabled. Frame burst allows packet
bursting which will increase overall network speed though this is only
recommended for approx 1-3 wireless clients, Anymore clients and there
can be a negative result and throughput will be affected.
Beacon Interval
：
The default value is 100. Enter a value between 1 and
65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency
interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to
synchronize the wireless network. 50 is recommended in poor reception.
DTIM Interval
：
The default value is 1. This value, between 1 and 255,
indicates 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. Its clients hear the beacons and
awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Fragmentation Threshold
：
This value should remain at its default setting
of 2346. The range is 256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a
packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low
may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
