D-Link DI-624S manual Advanced Performance

Using the Configuration Menu (continued)

Advanced > Performance

The Performance window is used to configure settings for the Access Point feature of this device. Configuring these settings may increase the performance of your router but if you are not familiar with

networking devices and protocols, this section should be left at its default settings. Below is a list of the functions associated with the Access Point feature of the router. Click Apply when you have completed your changes.

TX Rate	Use the pull down menu to select the transfer data rate, in
	Mbps. The default setting of Auto will automatically adjust the
	transfer rate to the highest possible rate allowed.
Transmit Power	Allows the user to adjust the transmit power of the router. A
	high transmit power allows a greater area range of
	accessibility to the router.
Beacon interval	Beacons are emitted from the router in order to synchronize
	the wireless network. You may set the range between 20-100
	microseconds per beacon sent. The default is 100.
RTS Threshold	The RTS (Request to Send) Threshold controls the size of
	data packets issued to a RTS packet. A lower level will send
	packets more frequently which may consume a great amount
	of the available bandwidth. A high threshold will allow the
	router to recover from interference or collisions which is more
	prevalent in a network with high traffic or high electromagnetic
	interference. The default setting is 2346.
Fragmentation	The fragmentation threshold will determine if packets are to
	be fragmented. Packets over the 2346 byte limit will be
	fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
