3.7.1.3 Advanced Setting
This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN. These setting shall not be
changed unless you know exactly what will happen for the changes you made on your router
.
Fields in this page:
Field Description
Fragment Threshold 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 increases 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 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 frequency interval of the beacon. Enter
a value between 20 and 1024. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100.
Preamble Type The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)
block for communication between the AP and mobile wireless stations. Make
sure to select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high network traffic
areas should use the
short preamble
type. CRC is a common technique for
detecting data transmission errors.
IAPP The IEEE 802.11F or Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is a recommendation
that describes an optional extension to IEEE 802.11 that provides wireless
