Preamble Type-
Select
Short
or
Long Preamble.
The Preamble defines the
length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a com-
mon technique for detecting data transmission errors) for
communication between the wireless router and the roaming
wireless network adapters.
Note: High network traffic areas
should use the shorter preamble type.
Beacon Interval-
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize
a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting
and is recommended.
RTS Threshold-
This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If incon-
sistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should
be made.
Fragmentation-
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, deter-
mines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding
the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission.
2346 is the default setting.
DTIM interval-
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message)
3
is the default setting. A
DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

to broadcast the SSID across the network.
All devices on a network must share the same SSID (Service
Set Identifier) to establish communication. Choose
Disabled
if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID over the network.
