have the Router automatically use the fastest possible
data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature.
Auto-Fallback negotiates the best possible connection
speed between the Router and a wireless client. The
default value is
Auto
.
Multicast Rate:
select the multicast transmission rate for
the network. The rate of data transmission should be set
depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can
select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can
select
Auto
to have the Router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback negotiates the best possible
connection speed between the Router and a wireless
client. The default value is
Auto
.
Basic Rate:
select the basic transmission rate ability for
the AP.
Fragmentation Threshold:
packets that are larger than
this threshold are fragmented into multiple packets. Try to
increase the fragmentation threshold if you encounter high
packet error rates. Do not set the threshold too low, since
this can result in reduced networking performance.
RTS Threshold:
this value should remain at its default
setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor reductions are recommended. Should you
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of
the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism is not enabled. The Router 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. The RTS Threshold value should
remain at its default value of 2347.
DTIM Interval:
enter a value between 1 and 255 for the
delivery traffic indication message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a
