High is the default setting and is recommended. ◆Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for the Beacon Interval. The beacons are packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. The Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of beacons. The default value is 100. ◆RTS Threshold - Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If a packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346. ◆Fragmentation Threshold - This value determines the maximum size before packets are fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance since excessive packets may be sent. The default setting is 2346 and is recommended. ◆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 Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval. ◆Enable WMM - The WMM function guarantees that packets with high- priority messages are transmitted before other packets. It is strongly recommended to enable this feature. ◆Enable Short GI - This function is recommended, since it increases the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time. ◆Enabled AP Isolation - This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router, but not with each other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.NOTE: If you are not familiar with the settings on this page, it is strongly recommended to keep the default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.
