Click on the
Advanced
link under the
System
menu. This page allows you to
configure the fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold, 802.11d, transmit power and
WDS (wireless distribution system).
Fragment Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between 256 and 65535.
The default value is 2346.
RTS Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from
degrading the performance. Specify a value between 1 and 65535. The default value
is 2346.
Beacon Period
: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to
synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000.
The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DITM Interval
: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next
DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings
are between 1 and 255.
802.11d Enable:
802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in multiple
regulatory domains. This supplement to the 802.11 specifications defines the
physical layer requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current
MIB attributes, and other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs in
multiple regulatory domains (countries). The current 802.11 standard defines
operation in only a fixed regulatory domain (country). This supplement adds the
requirements and definitions necessary to allow WLAN equipment to operate in
