Guard Interval

: Guard interval is placed at the beginning of each transmission. It is

used to reduce the interference effect of multi-path transmissions. The use of long

Guard Interval may perform better in interference or multipath environment. However,

it can reduce the performance.

MCS (Modulation and Code Scheme):

MCS level for the 11n mode. It is

recommended to leave it at Auto.

Decline BA Request:

Enable this option to decline the Block ACK requests by other

devices.

BG Protection:

The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure

mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operation. If there is no such kind of mechanism exists,

the two kinds of standards may mutually interfere and decrease network’s

performance.

Beacon Interval:

The device broadcasts beacon frames regularly to announce its

existence. The beacon Interval specifies how often beacon frames are transmitted in

time unit of milliseconds. The default value is

100

, and a valid value should be between

1 and 65,535.
