Selecting 

Wireless

 > 

Wireless Advanced

 will allow you to do some advanced settings for the 

device in the following screen shown in Figure 4-22. As the configuration for each operation mode 
is almost the same, we take Access Point mode for example here. 

 

Figure 4-22 Wireless Advanced 

¾

 

Beacon Interval -

 Specifies a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the 

packets sent by the device to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value 
determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.   

¾

 

RTS Threshold -

 Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger 

than the specified RTS Threshold size, the device will send RTS frames to a particular 
receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.   

¾

 

Fragmentation Threshold -

 This value is the maximum size determining whether packets 

will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network 
performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.   

¾

 

DTIM Interval -

 Determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). 

You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which 
indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.   

¾

 

Enable WMM -

 WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages being 

transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended enabled.   

¾

 

Enable Short GI -

 This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by 

reducing the guard interval time.   

¾

 

Enable AP Isolation -

 Isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations 

cannot access each other through WLAN. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is 
enabled.  

4.7.5  Antenna Alignment 

Selecting 

Wireless

 >

 Antenna Alignment

 will show how remote AP's signal strength changes 

while changing the antenna's direction in the following screen shown in 

Figure 4-23
