Field Description
Fragmentation
Threshold
Allows you to set the size at which packets are fragmented and
transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at once. The setting must be
within the range of 256 to 2346 bytes.
The default is 2346.
Beacon Period Allows you to set the time units for the beacon period. A beacon is a
packet broadcast by the AP to keep the network synchronized. You are
able to set the Beacon Period value from 1 to 65535 in Time Units
(TU). The default is 100.
Since changes to the Beacon Period and Delivery Traffic Indicator
Maps (DTIM) settings may affect wireless performance, it is best to use
the default settings.
DTIM Period Allows you to set the Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps (DTIM) period
value from 1 to 255 in multiples of Beacon Periods. The default is 3.
Since changes to the Beacon Period and Delivery Traffic Indicator
Maps (DTIM) settings may affect wireless performance, it is best to use
the default settings.
Basic Rate Set Allows you to set the transmission rate. The router broadcasts different
transmission rates so clients know which transmission rate to use to
join the network.
The options are:
1 to 2
Mbps
The slowest speed available.

devices
All Ensures compatibility with all devices.
