It will try to reserve the throughput for 11g clients from 11b clients connecting to the device as AP mode. Beacon Interval Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to synchronize the wireless network. The beacon interval is the time interval between beacons sending by this unit in AP or AP+WDS mode. The default and recommended beacon interval is 100 milliseconds. Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at
18the AP will be transmitted immediately after the transmission of this beacon frame. You can change the value from 1 to 255. The AP will check the buffered data according to this value. For example, selecting “1” means to check the buffered data at every beacon. Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance. RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes. TX Power The default TX power is 100%. In case of shortening the distance and the coverage of the wireless network, input a smaller value to reduce the radio transmission power. For example, input 80 to apply 80% Tx power. Short Preamble Default: Disable. It is a performance parameter for 802.11 b/g mode and not supported by some of very early stage of 802.11b station cards. If there is no such kind of stations associated to this AP, you can enable this function. Short Slot For a WLAN network with 802.11g/n devices, the time slot can be set short to increase the throughput. Disable this option for the backward compatibility with 802.11b device. Tx Burst The device will try to send a serial of packages with single ACK reply from the clients. Enable this function to apply it.
