Customize Your Network Settings
•
Short GI
- It is recommended to enable this function, for it will increase the data
capacity by reducing the guard interval time.
•
AP Isolation
- This function isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless
stations cannot access each other through WLAN.
•
ATF (Airtime Fairness)
- This function can improve the overall network performance
by sacrificing a little bit of network time on your slow devices.
•
Beacon Interval
- Enter a value between 40 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the
duration between beacon packets that are broadcasted by the router to synchronize
the wireless network. The default value is 100 milliseconds.
•
RTS Threshold
- Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size of
data transmission through the router. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
size is 2346. If the packet size is greater than the preset threshold, the router will send
RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame.
•
DTIM Interval
- The value determines the interval of DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication
Message). Enter a value between 1 and 15 intervals. The default value is 1, which
indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
•
Group Key Update Period
- Enter a number of seconds (minimum 30) to control the
time interval for the encryption key automatic renewal. The default value is 0, meaning
no key renewal.
