Specify Your Network Settings
•
Beacon Interval:
Enter a value between 25 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the
duration between which beacon packets are broadcasted by the router to synchronize
the wireless network. The default 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 sends
Request to Send frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame, or else the packet will be sent immediately.
•
DTIM Interval:
Enter a value between 1 and 255 to determine the interval of the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). 1 indicates the DTIM Interval is the same
as
Beacon Interval
.
•
Group Key Update Period:
Enter the number of seconds to control the time interval
for the encryption key automatic renewal. The default is 0, indicating no key renewal.
•
WMM Feature:
This feature guarantees the packets with high-priority messages being
transmitted preferentially. WMM is enabled compulsively under 802.11n or 802.11ac
mode. It is strongly recommended to enable WMM.
•
Short GI Feature:
This feature is enabled by default and recommended to increase the
data capacity by reducing the Guard Interval (GI) time.
•
AP Isolation Feature:
Select this checkbox to enable the AP Isolation feature that allows
you to confine and restrict all wireless devices on your network from interacting with
each other, but still able to access the Internet. AP isolation is disabled by default.
•
WDS:
Select this checkbox to enable the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Bridging
feature to allow the router to bridge with another access point (AP) in a wireless local
area network (WLAN). Refer to
Appendix B: Troubleshooting
for detailed instructions.
