DTIM Period (4): Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 3.
Data Rate (5):Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after modification.
