4.6.4 Wireless Advanced
Choose menu “Wireless→Wireless Advanced”, you can configure the advanced settings of your
wireless network.
Figure 4-15 Wireless Advanced
Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. The
beacons are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon
Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold - Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the 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 is the maximum size determining whether packets
will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network
performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting 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 - WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages being
transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended enabled.
TCSEGWB13FA0

Enable Short GI - This function is recommended for it will increase 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 setting items on this page, it's strongly recommended to keep the
provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.
4.6.5 Wireless Statistics
Choose menu “Wireless→Wireless Statistics”, you can see the MAC Address, Current Status,
Received Packets and Sent Packets for each connected wireless station.

Note:
You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If
pinging/tracerouting the IP address is successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name is
not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case, ensure that the domain name
you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.

name (such as http://www.tp-link.com)
Pings Count - The number of Ping packets for a Ping connection.
Ping Packet Size - The size of Ping packet.
Ping Timeout - Set the waiting time for the reply of each Ping packet. If there is no reply in
the specified time, the connection is overtime.
Traceroute Max TTL - The max number of hops for a Traceroute connection.
