Advanced Settings
This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included
are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon
Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless
you know what effect the changes will have on the router.
Fragment Threshold
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of a
packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this
value too low, it will result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller then the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval
is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
DTIM period
is a countdown mechanism for WLAN Access Points changing
this value will affect your wireless performance and may improve stability.
Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
Broadcast ESSID
If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station
located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point
