Note:
If you are not familiar with the setting items on this page, it’s strongly recommended to keep the provided default values;
otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.
• Beacon Interval
: Enter a value between 40 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine
the duration between beacons packets that are broadcasted by the access point to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100 milliseconds.
• RTS Threshold
: Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size of
data transmission trough the access point. If the packet is larger than the specified
threshold, the access point will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and
negotiate the sending of a data frame. Or else the packet will be sent immediately. The
default value is 2346.
• DTIM Interval
: This value determines 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 access point
has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the
next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Enter a value between 1 and 15 Beacon Intervals.
The default value is 1, indicating that the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
