SSID Broadcast-

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If incon- sistent data ﬂow is a problem, only a minor modiﬁcation should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is speciﬁed in bytes, deter- mines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmis- sion.2346 is the default setting

(Delivery Trafﬁc Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble deﬁnes the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a com- mon technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless network adapters. Note: High network trafﬁc areas should use the shorter preamble type.

Auto is the default selection. Selct from the drop down menu.

Choose Enabled to broadcast the SSID across the network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID (Service Set Identiﬁer) to establish communication. Choose Disabled if you do not wish to broadcast the SSID over the network.
