Advanced
Select “Wireless Settings | Advanced” to access the advanced wireless settings interface. It includes
advanced parameters like Beacon Interval and transmitting power to set an optimal allocation for your
network. Please do not modify the contents unless you are an advanced user.
BG Protection Mode
: You can select On or Off. (The default is Auto.)
Beacon Interval
: It can be set to obtain the access interval time of a nearby wireless network. (The
default is 100ms.)
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)
: It is the time (in ms) used to transfer information, which is shown in the next
client window that receives broadcast and multicast messages. The range is 1 to 255. (The default is 1.)
Fragment Threshold
: It sets the data’s packet size before the data is transmitted. When a wireless
network is busy or is working in a high-interference environment, you should enable this function. A
packet should be divided to reduce the number of retransmissions, which improves the wireless
network’s performance. If the fragment threshold is above the data packet value, the data will not
be divided when it is transmitted. Otherwise, it will be divided one packet (not all packets) at a time.
Its range is 256-2346. (The default is 2346.) We recommend using the default value or a value that
is slightly lower than the default value.
RTS Threshold
: An appropriate setting can avoid a hidden node problem that occurs when both radios
share the same access point but vary in range. The RTS packet size that radios send depends on the
RTS Threshold. The range of the RTS Threshold is 1-2347. (The default is 2347.) When the packet size
exceeds the RST limits, this device will send an RTS notice before sending the packets. When yo u set a
transfer request limit, consider the pros and cons. A low value enables RTS notifications but a higher
frequency will occupy more bandwidth. However, the more often that an RTS packet transmits, the
sooner the system will recover from a data collision. So, we recommend using the default value or a
value that is slightly lower than the default value.
TX Power
: It defines the transmitting power size for the SSID of the current machine. 50 is half power.
(The default is 100, which is full power.)
Short Preamble
: It is used to provide a leading frame for the default setting. You can enable or disable
it. (The default is Disabled, which is recommended.)Shot slot: You can enable or disable it. (The default
is Enabled, which is recommended)
TX Burst
: This property belongs to the MAC address layers, which can improve the balance of the
wireless network TCP transmission. You can enable or disable it. (The default is Enabled, which is
recommended)
PKT Aggregate
: Aggregation technologies put multiple packets together, which enhances each
LAN packet to be sent to its destination correctly. This improves the transmitting efficiency. You
can enable or disable it. (The default is Enabled, which is recommended.)
