Compared with the relatively new client devices, some legacy client devices support
slower wireless rate. If they communicate with the same EAP, the slower clients take more
time to transmit and receive data compared with the faster clients. As a result, the overall
wireless throughput of the network decreases.
Therefore we recommend you check the box to enable this function under multi-
rate wireless networks. In this way, the faster clients can get more time for the data
transmission and the network overall throughput can be improved.

With Airtime Fairness enabled, 50 wireless clients at most can connect to the EAP in 2.4GHz band.

Proper wireless parameters can improve the network’s stability, reliability and
communication efficiency. The advanced wireless parameters consist of Beacon Interval,
DTIM Period, RTS Threshold, and Fragmentation Threshold.
The following table introduces how to configure each item:
Beacon Interval
Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP to announce the presence
of a wireless network for the clients.
Beacon Interval
determines the time
interval of the beacons sent by the EAP.
You can specify a value between 40 and 100ms. The default is 100ms.
