Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

High Performance (N-Only) if you want to achieve highest throughput on 11n connections. Note that 11b and 11g clients performance will be affected by setting to this mode.

IOT Mode. Interoperability Mode. Enabling this mode will help this AP to communicate with Linksys retail client cards (e.g. WPC300N) at 11n rates. This mode is a temporary measure to cope with implementation differences on 802.11n draft specification. This option will be removed eventually when IEEE802.11n is finalized. The default is disabled.

Beacon Interval. This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. A beacon includes the wireless networks service area, the Access Point address, the Broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM). The default is 100 ms.

DTIM Interval. This value indicates how often the Access Point sends out a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more efficient networking, while preventing your PC from dropping into power- saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow your PC to enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless transmissions. The default is 1 ms.

RTS Threshold. This setting determines how large a packet can be before the Access Point coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication. This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
