5.3.8 Advanced Setup
BG Protection Mode:
Background Protection Mode, by default, it is Auto selected.
Basic Data Rates:
you can choose the wireless data rate. This router provides three
options. Be default, it is Default (1-2-5.5-11Mbps).
Beacon Interval:
By default, it is set to 100ms. Higher Beacon interval will improve the
device’s wireless performance and is also power-saving for client side. If this value set
lower than 100ms, it will speed up the wireless client connection.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM):
by default, its value is 1.
Fragment Threshold:
specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented
into multiple packets. The range is 256-2346 bytes. Setting the Fragment Threshold too low
may result in poor network performance. The use of fragment can increase the reliability of
frame transmissions. Because of sending smaller frames, collisions are much less likely to
occur. However, lower values of the Fragment Threshold will result in lower throughput as
well. Minor or no modifications of the Fragmentation Threshold value is recommended
while default setting of 2346 is optimum in most of the wireless network use cases.
RTS Threshold:
determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of an
access point, helps control traffic flow. The range is 0-2347 bytes. The default value is 2347,
which means that RTS is disabled.
RTS/CTS
(Request to Send / Clear to send) are the mechanism used by the 802.11
wireless networking protocols to reduce frame collisions introduced by the hidden
terminal problem. RTS/CTS packet size threshold is 0-2347 bytes. If the packet size the
