Advanced Settings
Beacon Interval Set the number of milliseconds that should pass between the sending out of
beacons.
Intra-BSS Traffic Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS.
Enable Intra-BSS traffic to allow wireless stations connected to the device to
communicate with each other.
Disable Intra-BSS traffic to only allow wireless stations to communicate with the
wired network, not with each other.
DTIM Interval Set the interval for wireless clients in sleep mode to wake up and check for
multicast or broadcast traffic.
The AP includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) in the beacon to
notify wireless clients in sleep mode that there is a multicast or broadcast packet
awaiting delivery. The interval is a multiple of the beacon interval. For example, if
the beacon interval is 100 milliseconds and the DTIM interval is 2, the AP includes
a DTIM with every second beacon (or every 200 milliseconds).
