It will try to reserve the throughput for 11g clients from 11b clients connecting to the device as AP mode. 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. Rate This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at 17 Fragment Threshold RTS Threshold 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. 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. 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 Short Preamble Short Slot Tx Burst Wi-Fi Multimedia Item WMM Capable WMM Parameter The default TX power is 100%.
