Section 3 - Software Configuration
Advanced Wireless
These options are for users that wish to change the behavior of their 802.11n wireless radio from the standard settings. We do not recommend changing these settings from the factory defaults. Incorrect settings may impact the performance of your wireless radio. The default settings should provide the best wireless radio performance in most environments.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
Wireless Band: Here the user can view the wireless frequency band being configured. In the case 2.4GHz.
Transmit Power: This option sets the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.
100 is the default setting and is recommended.
RTS Threshold: Here the user can enter the RTS threshold value used. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.
Fragmentation: The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
DTIM Interval: Here the user can enter the DTIM Interval value. Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The default settings is 1.
WMM Enable: Check this box to enable the WMM feature.
Short GI: Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may create higher data loss.
