3.2.4 Advanced Settings
You can set advanced wireless LAN parameters of this router. The parameters include Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, Preamble Type, etc. It is suggested not to change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on this router.
Parameters | Description |
Fragment Threshold | “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet |
| during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. The default |
| value is 2346. |
RTS Threshold | When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the |
| wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this |
| packet. |
Beacon Interval | The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon. |
| Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. |
DTIM Period | 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 | 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. |
N Data Rate | Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients. |
