RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is
0~2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications
are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the packet RTS threshold size,
the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The IAD sends Request of 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.
DTIM Interval: The default value is 3. This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds,
indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is
a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the router has buffered broadcast or multicast for
associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear
the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast message.
Beacon Interval: The default value is 100. Enter a value between 1 and 65535
milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to synchronize the wireless network.
XPress™ Technology: Select to enable/disable this proprietary mode.
54g™ Mode: Select the mode to 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select the
mode to 54g Performance for the fastest performance among 54g certified equipment.
Set the mode to 54g LRS if you are experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b
equipment.
