the time interval at which the router broadcasts a DTIM (Delivery Traffic
Indication Message) to inform clients in power saving mode to wake up for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Mode:
The default value is
auto
. If you have both 11b and 11g clients on
your network, use the auto mode. You can also select
802.11g only
from
the drop-down list if you want to prevent 11b clients from accessing the
network. You may also select
802.11b
only
if you want to allow only 11b
clients.
h
Basic Rate:
The default rate is
default
. The Basic Rate is not the same
as the Transmission Rate, but a series of rates that the router broadcasts to
clients to make the aware of what rate they can transmit at. With the
default setting the router will automatically transmit at the best rate. You
may select the other option
(1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 12, 24 Mbps)
from the drop-
down list.
h
Transmit Rate:
The default rate is
auto
. Using the default setting, the
router will enable auto-fallback and will automatically select the best
possible data rate for transmission. You may select another transmission
rate from the drop-down list.
h
Prism Nitro™:
The default value is
disable
. Enabling this mode should
improve the network performance, either 3 times faster data rates in mixed
mode environment where both 11b and 11g clients exist, or 50% more data
throughput in 11g-only environment.
