Beacon Interval:
Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value
indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval:
This value, between 1 and 255, 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 Router 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 awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast
messages. The default value is 1.
Broadcast SSID:
When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to
associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router’s
SSID, select “Enable”. If you don’t want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, select “Disable”.
After configuration, click
Apply Changes
button to save your changes.
Note:
1. These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge
about wireless LAN. They should not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for
the changes on your Access Point.
2. After configuration, you need to click the
Save
button appeared on the left panel so that your
configuration can still take effect after the Router reboots.
4.2.3.5. WPS
Choose “
Setup→WLAN→WPS
” menu, and you will see the Quick Secure Setup screen (shown in
Figure 4-21). Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple way to establish the connection between the
wireless client and access point. You don’t need to select the encryption method and encryption key.
You just need to input the correct PIN or start PBC and press the WPS button on the router to set
the WPS.
