802.11n Protection:
802.11n Protection protects legacy 802.11b&g devices that are within range of your
cable modem/router. This feature is enabled (
Auto
) by default.
In some environments with no legacy devices, you may improve performance by
disabling this feature.
Basic Rate Set:
Determines which rates are advertised as “basic” rates. Default uses the driver
defaults. Sets all available rates as basic rates.
Multicast Rate:
This is the rate at which you send out multicast packets to stations. Multicast packets
are not acknowledged.
NPHY Rate:
Choose 802.11n rate to be applied to all unicast packets.
Legacy Rate:
“
N” mode must be off on the “radio” webpage for this control to be active. When
active the user can force the rate in which the AP will operate.
Beacon Interval:
Sets the beacon interval in milliseconds for the AP. The default is 100, which is fine
for nearly all applications.
DTIM Interval:
Sets the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode. When a client is running in
power save mode, lower values provide higher performance but result in decreased
client battery life, while higher values provide lower performance but result in
increased client battery life.
Fragmentation Threshold:
Sets the fragmentation threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will be
fragmented into packets no larger than the threshold before packet transmission.
RTS Threshold:
Sets the RTS threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will cause the AP to
perform an RTS/CTS exchange to reserve the wireless medium before packet
transmission.
