Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Fragmentation Threshold (256~2346)

Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. The use of fragmentation can increase the reliability of frame transmissions. This field allows you to enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2346) is recommended.

RTS Threshold (0~2347)

The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. If you enable RTS/CTS, it will refrain from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake in the air is completed. This field allows you to enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. Default value 2347 is recommended.

DTIM Interval (1~255)

DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a kind of wireless message used to inform clients in Power Saving Mode when to wake up to receive broadcast and multicast messages. This field indicates the time interval in multiples of the Beacon Interval that the system broadcasts DTIMs for clients in Power Saving Mode. The default value (3) is recommended.

Beacon Interval (1~65535)

This field indicates the time interval in milliseconds after which the system broadcast packet, called beacon, is sent to synchronize the wireless network. The default value (100 milliseconds) is recommended.

Enable Frame Bursting?

This field allows you to enable frame-bursting mode to improve performance with wireless clients that also support frame bursting.
