24 

Data Beacon Rate 
(DTIM) 

Range from 1 to 255. (Default data beacon rate is 1.) 

Fragment 
Threshold 

Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high 

traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the Wireless Portable Router 

often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment 

Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. 

(The default value is 2346.) 

RTS Threshold 

RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the 

Hidden Node

 

problem. If the 

Hidden Node

 problem is an issue, please specify the 

packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds 

the value you set. (The default value is 2347.) 

Warning:

 Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network 

overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of 

providing a remedy. 
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you 

encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are 

recommended. 

TX Power 

Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio transceiver to send 

the signal out. 

Short Preamble 

Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default setting is Disable.) A 

preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to synchronize the 

transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. 

Short Slot 

Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default short slot setting is Enable.) 

Tx Burst 

Check to enable this function (Default Tx Burst setting is Enable.) This 

function enables the Wireless Portable Router to deliver better throughput 

during a period of time, it only takes effect when connecting with the device 

that supports this function. 

Pkt_Aggregate 

Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default setting is Enable.) 

Wi-Fi Multimedia 

WMM Capable 

WMM Power Save is a set of features for Wi-Fi networks that help 

conserve battery power in small devices such as phones, PDAs, and audio 

players. The certification for both access points and client devices uses 

mechanisms from the recently ratified IEEE 802.11e standard, and is an 

enhancement of legacy 802.11 power save. WMM Power Save helps pave 

the way for rapid proliferation of Wi-Fi technology into devices dependent 

on battery power. 
Select Disable or Enable to use or stop Wi-Fi Multimedia function. (Default 

setting is Enable.) 

APSD Capable 

Automatic Power Save Delivery is a more efficient power management 

method than legacy 802.11 Power Save Polling. Most newer 802.11 station 

already support a power management mechanism similar to APSD. APSD 

is very useful for a VoIP phone, as data rates are roughly the same in both 

directions. Whenever Voice data are sent to the Access Point, the Access 

Point is triggered to send the buffered Voice data in the other direction. 

After that the Voice over IP phone enters doze state until next Voice data 

have to be sent to the Access Point. 
Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default setting is Disable.)
