Description
Beacon Interval
The default value is 100. The Beacon Interval value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet
broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network. 50 is
recommended in poor reception.
DTIM Interval
The default value is 1. This value, between 1 and 255
milliseconds, indicates 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 AP has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM
with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and
prepares to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The
range is 256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a
packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the
Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
