Field	Description
RTS Threshold	Allows you to modify the RTS threshold, which
	is the packet size at which an access point
	issues a request to send (RTS). The range is 0
	to 2347 bytes.
	The default is 2347.
Fragmentation	Allows you to set the size at which packets are
Threshold	fragmented and transmitted a piece at a time
	instead of all at once. The setting must be
	within the range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
	The default is 2346.
Beacon Period	Allows you to set the time units for the beacon
	period. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the
	access point to keep the network synchronized.
	You are able to set the Beacon Period value
	from 1 to 65535 in Time Units (TU). The default
	is 100.
	Since changes to the Beacon Period and
	Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps (DTIM) settings
	may affect wireless performance, it is best to
	use the default settings.
DTIM Period	Allows you to set the Delivery Traffic Indicator
	Maps (DTIM) period value from 1 to 255 in
	multiples of Beacon Periods. The default is 3.
	Since changes to the Beacon Period and
	Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps (DTIM) settings
	may affect wireless performance, it is best to
	use the default settings.
