Configure the Access Point
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The
default value is 2346.
• Fragmentation Threshold
- This value is the maximum size determining whether
packets will be fragmented. Setting a low value for the Fragmentation Threshold may
result in poor network performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default
setting and is recommended.
• DTIM Interval
- This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication
Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point
has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the
next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. 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.
• Enable Short GI
- It is recommended to enable this function, for it will increase the
data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.
• Enable Client Isolation
- This function 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.
• Enable WMM
- WMM function can guarantee the packets with high-priority messages
being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended to enable this function.
4. 3. 8. Wireless Statistics
The configuration of each operation mode is almost the same. We take Access Point
mode for example here.
1. Visit
, and log in with the username and password you set for the
access point.
2. Go to
Wireless
>
Wireless Statistics
to check the data packets sent and received by
each client device connected to the access point.
• MAC Address
- The MAC address of the connected wireless client.
• Current Status
- The running status of the connected wireless client.
• Received Packets
- Packets received by the wireless client.
• Sent Packets
- Packets sent by the wireless client.
• SSID
- SSID that the station associates with.
