Transmit Power -
Specifies the transmit power of the device. You can select
High
,
Middle
or
Low
based on your need.
High
is the default setting and is recommended.
¾
Beacon Interval -
Specifies a value between 40-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the packets
sent by the device to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value determines the time
interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.
¾
RTS Threshold -
Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger than the
specified RTS Threshold size, the device will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.
¾
Fragmentation Threshold -
This value is the maximum size determining whether packets will be
fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance
since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.
¾
DTIM Interval -
Determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). You can
specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the
DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
¾
Enable WMM -
WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages being
transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended that this function be enabled.
¾
Enable Short GI -
This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by reducing
the guard interval time.
¾
Enable AP Isolation -
Isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations cannot
access each other through WLAN. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is enabled.
