•
RTS/CTS Threshold: Enter the packet size threshold for RTS/CTS
(Request to Send/Clear to Send) to occur. The primary reason for using
this is to minimize the collision between hidden stations, which occurs
when APs and wireless users are spread out in a location and there is a
high occurrence of retransmissions on the wireless LAN. Default setting is
2347.
•
Beacon Interval: Adjusting Beacon Interval allows clients to sleep longer.
Clients must wake up for every beacon, so this setting tells your client how
many milliseconds it can sleep for (for example, if beacon interval = 100,
your stations are allowed to sleep for up to 100 ms).
•
802.11r Fast BSS Transition: IEEE 802.11r standard for fast roaming
reduces the authentication time when clients roam from one AP to the
other. This feature is beneficial for video streaming and voice application.
Note: The roaming behavior depends on clients. To obtain full benefit from
fast roaming, wireless clients need to support 802.11r fast roaming
standard. It is not recommended to enable both band steering and fast
roaming features, which will cause some incompatibility issues.
•
Multicast enhancement: Enable to enhance the video/audio quality when
streaming multicast content to multiple devices over WiFi. When enabled,
all the multicast traffic is converted to unicast, which increases the delivery
speed to individual devices. This feature is not recommended if the
multicast group exceeds 10 devices.
•
Client reject RSSI threshold: Helps with “sticky” clients that don’t reliably
roam to the closest AP. By enabling this feature, the AP continuously
monitors the station’s received signal and will de-authenticate the client
when the RSSI falls below a user-defined threshold. This setting can be
configured independently on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios.
