Fragmentation Threshold (256~2346) – Fragmentation is used to divide802.11frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
RTS Threshold (0~2347) – The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.
DTIM Interval (1~255) – DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a wireless message used to inform clients in Power Saving Mode when the system should wake up to receive broadcast and multicast messages. Type the time interval in which the system will broadcast a DTIM for clients in Power Saving Mode. The default value (3) is recommended.
Beacon Interval (1~65535) – This field indicates the time interval in milliseconds that a system broadcast packet, or beacon, is sent to synchronize the wireless network. The default value (100 milliseconds) is recommended.
