Enter a value between 25 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the
duration between which beacon packets are broadcasted by the router to synchronize
the wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds.
•
RTS Threshold:
Enter a value between 1 and 2347 to determine the packet size of
data transmission through the router. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold

Most ISPs (Internet service providers) assign a dynamic IP address to the router and
you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address
