Beacon Interval: This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the wireless AP to keep the network
synchronized. A beacon includes the wireless LAN service area, a time
stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message
(TIM). The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,347.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are
recommended.
DTIM Interval: This value indicates how often the Access Point sends out
a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more
efficient networking, while preventing your PC from dropping into power
saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow your PC to enter sleep mode, thus
saving power, but interferes with wireless transmissions.

wireless AP can transmit. The wireless AP will use the highest possible
selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets. The default value is
“Auto”.
