Fragmentation Threshold
This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low
may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold
This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow,
only minor modifications to the value are recommended.
Beacon Period
Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a
Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DTIM Interval
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages
for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients
detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default
value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
802.11d Enable
Enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in additional
regulatory domains. This supplement to the 802.11 specifications defines the physical layer
requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current MIB attributes, and
other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs to new regulatory domains
(countries). The current 802.11 standard defines operation in only a few regulatory domains
(countries). This supplement adds the requirements and definitions necessary to allow 802.11
WLAN equipment to operate in markets not served by the current standard. Enable this option
if you are operating in one of these "additional regulatory domains".
Transmit Power
Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however,
there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power
of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office
or designated wireless area.
WDS Enable
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to
wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is incompatible with
WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP
must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to this AP.
WDS AP MAC Address
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP
to create the WDS link back to this AP.
