(DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown that informs clients about the next window for

 

listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

 

Note: The DTIM is a multiple of the Beacon (TIM), so if the DTIM is set to 3, a DTIM

 

message is sent with every third Beacon.

 

 

Preamble Type

Tells the receiver that data is on the way. The preamble allows the receiver to

 

acquire the wireless signal and synchronize itself with the transmitter. Select Long

 

Preamble or Short Preamble. Long Preamble can provide better wireless LAN

 

compatibility with legacy devices, while Short Preamble can provide better WLAN

 

performance.

 

 

Tx Power

Lets you increase or decrease transmit power. Higher transmit power may prevent

 

connections to the network, while the lower transmit power can prevent clients

 

from connecting to the device.

 

 

Distance

Specify the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop

 

high‐speed connections.

 

 

Layer 2 Isolation

Enable or disable Layer 2 Isolation. Layer 2 isolation prevents communication and

 

data sharing between wireless stations associated with different Access Points.

 

 

5.6.2 Advanced Settings (Client Bridge / Client Router)

Fragment Threshold

Specify the maximum packet size during transmission. If a large number of clients are

 

accessing the WLAN, specify a small value to avoid collisions.

 

 

RTS Threshold

RTS threshold is a trigger to engage the exchange of RTS and CTS messages between

 

the Access Point and client. The trigger is a type of “handshaking” approach that

 

provides an additional layer of control over the use of the shared medium by

 

indicating the amount of time a wireless device, attempting to send, will wait for a

 

recipient to acknowledge that it is ready. If the packet size is smaller than the RTS

 

threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send the
