5.3.7 Advanced Settings
BG Protection Mode:
Background Protection Mode, by default, it is Auto selected.
Basic Data Rates:
you can choose the wireless data rate. This router provides three options. Be
default, it is Default (1-2-5.5-11Mbps).
Beacon Interval:
By default, it is set to 100ms. Higher Beacon interval will improve the device’s
wireless performance and is also power-saving for client side. If this value set lower than 100ms, it
will speed up the wireless client connection.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM):
by default, its value is 1.
Fragment Threshold:
specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into
multiple packets. The range is 256-2346 bytes. Setting the Fragment Threshold too low may result in
poor network performance. The use of fragment can increase the reliability of frame transmissions.
Because of sending smaller frames, collisions are much less likely to occur. However, lower values
of the Fragment Threshold will result in lower throughput as well. Minor or no modifications of
the Fragmentation Threshold value is recommended while default setting of 2346 is optimum in
most of the wireless network use cases.
RTS Threshold:
determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an access
point, helps control traffic flow. The range is 0-2347 bytes. The default value is 2347, which means
that RTS is disabled.
RTS/CTS
(Request to Send / Clear to send) are the mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless
networking protocols to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden terminal problem.
RTS/CTS packet size threshold is 0-2347 bytes. If the packet size the node wants to transmit is larger
