Item Description
BG Protection Mode Default: Auto. You can select the other options including On
and Off. The B/G protection technology is CTS-To-Self. 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
18
the 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
