Advanced (Repeater mode)
Fragment Threshold
Specifies the size of the packet per fragment.
This function can reduce the chance of packet collision.
However when this value is set too low, there will be increased overheads resulting in poor
performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, then the packet will be sent without
RTS/CTS handshake which may result in incorrect transmission.
Beacon Interval The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is used to synchronize all
wireless clients on the network.
DTIM Period A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that the access point will be
sending Multi-casted data.
N Data Rate You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients. Each Modulation
Coding Scheme (MCS) refers to a specific transfer speed.
Channel Bandwidth Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz.
To achieve 11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used.
Preamble Type A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client.
Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility.
Short Preamble is non-standard, so it decreases compatibility but increases performance.
CTS Protection When Enabled, the performance is slightly lower however the chances of packet collision is
greatly reduced.
Tx Power Set the power output of the wireless signal.
