7.5 Advanced Wireless
The Advanced Wireless page allows you to customize data transmission settings. In
most cases, the advanced settings on this page should remain at their default values.
Beacon Interval:
The default value is
100
. Enter a value between 20 and 1000
milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to synchronize the wireless
network.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of
2347
. The range is
256-2347 bytes.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Access Point sends Request to Send
(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data
frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS)
frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
