FIELD DESCRIPTION
Fragment Threshold
When transmitting a packet over a network medium, sometimes the packet is broken into several segments, if the size of
packet exceeds that allowed by the network medium. The Fragmentation Threshold defines the number of bytes used for
the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. It specifies the
maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets.
If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly reduce the “Fragment Threshold” value within the value range of
256 to 2346. Setting this value too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are
recommended.
RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled. The DSL modem (or AP) sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving
station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to
Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Beacon Interval
The Beacon Interval value indicates the broadcast frequency of the SSID beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1024. The
default is 100.
Data Rate
The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You should select from a
range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Access Point automatically use the fastest possible data
rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP
and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto.
Preamble Type Specify the Preamble type is short preamble or long preamble.
Broadcast SSID
Broadcast or Hide SSID to your Network.
Default: Enabled Broadcast
Relay Blocking Disable or enable Relay blocking.
Protection A protection mechanism which prevents collisions among 802.11g nodes.
Aggregation Disable or enable Aggregation.
Short GI Disable or enable Short guard interval.
WMM Support Enables or disables WiFi Multimedia support.
Security
This page allows you to configure wireless security. We recommend using WPA2 or WPA2 Mixed for the highest security.
