Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand, packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented.
RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism.
DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period. This value determines at which interval the AP will send its broadcast traffic. The default value is 3.
Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic interval at which the Access Point sends out a beacon.
54gTM Mode: This item allows you to choose from these communication options:
∙54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can communicate with this AP. The data rate will be automatically adjusted.
∙54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can communicate with the AP.
∙54g LRS: LRS stands for Limited Rate Support. This option is intended to support legacy clients (802.11b). Select this option if wireless clients are experiencing difficulties to associate with the AP. This option supports both 802.11g and 802.11b clients.
∙802.11b Only: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can communicate with this AP. The data rate will be automatically adjusted to the one supported by the 802.11b standard.
54g Protection: Select Off or Auto. The default value is set to Off. When set to Auto, a protection mechanism will ensure that 802.11b wireless devices will connect to the Access Point when many 802.11g wireless devices are present. However, performance of your 802.11g wireless devices may be decreased.
Enable Xpress ™ Technology: Select Off or Auto. When set to Auto, it increases the bandwidth availability that enables more
