Beacon interval
: Beacons are broadcast packets that are sent by a
wireless AP/router. The main purpose of beacon packet is let wireless clients
know this AP (SSID) when doing wireless network scan.
4.
DTIM interval
: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router
has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends
the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
5.
RTS Threshold:
If an excessive number of wireless packet collision occurred,
the wireless performance will be affected. It can be improved by adjusting the
RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) threshold value.
6.
Fragmentation
: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments)
to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits
of RF coverage.
7.
WMM Capable:
WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting
multimedia content over a wireless connection.
8.
Short GI:
Time setting of Guard Interval between two Wi-Fi packets.
Decrease this time interval will increase Wi-Fi data throughput. But it may
cause some side-effects when the quality of Wi-Fi signal is not good. 800ns
is the standard time setting of GI.
9.
TX Rate:
For WiFi transmit rate, you can choose “Best” for
auto-adjustment according to WiFi signal quality in your environment, or you
can fix it in certain TX rate. Please note the WiFi connection may be dropped
if you fix at a higher date rate but in a noisy (poor RF signal quality)
environment. Besides, there is only one “Best” option if following “RF
Bandwidth” parameter is set to “Auto”. When RF Bandwidth is HT40, you
can set the WiFi TX Rate to be one of following option list by manual:
