Advanced Wireless Settings:

?The default setting of the Fragmentation Threshold should remain 3200. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. If you may slightly adjust your Fragmentation value somewhere in the between the recommended range of 256 to 3200.

?The default setting of the RTS Threshold should remain of 3200. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value are recommended.

?Specify Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.

?The default value DTIM Interval is set to 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.

?802.11d Enable checked enables 802.11d operation; the feature should only be enabled if you are in a country that requires it. 802.11d is a wireless specification developed to allow implementation of

wireless networks in countries that cannot use the 802.11standard.

?When WDS Enable is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to wirelessly communicate with Other AP's via WDS links.

Note: WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional so this AP must know the MAC address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP (the router).

?Specifies one-half of the WDS AP MAC Address. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP (the router) to create the WDS link back to the router.
