5.1 Advanced Wireless Settings

Open “Advanced Settings” in “Wireless” to make advanced wireless settings.

Figure 5-1. Advanced wireless settings.

A-MPDU/A-MSDU Aggregation

The data rate of your AP (except wireless client mode) could be enhanced greatly with this option enabled; however, if your wireless clients don’t support A-MPDU/A-MSDU aggregation, we do not recommended that you enable it.

Short GI

Under 802.11n mode, enable it to obtain a better data rate if there is no negative compatibility issue.

RTS Threshold

The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain receiving stations and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The setting range is 0 to 2346 in bytes. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. We recommend that you leave it at its default of 2346.

Fragmentation Length

Specify the maximum size in bytes for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. We recommend that you leave it at its default of 2346.

Beacon Interval

Specify the frequency interval to broadcast packets. Enter a value between 20 and 1024.

DTIM Interval

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is contained in the data packets. It enhances the wireless transmission efficiency. The default is set to 1. Enter a value between 1 and 255.
