Parameter | Description |
Beacon Interval | The period of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is |
| used to synchronize the wireless network. |
RTS Threshold | When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will |
| not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. |
DTIM Period | This is the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A |
| DTIM field is a countdown field informing stations of the next window for |
| listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point |
| has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated stations, it |
| sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Stations for the Access |
| Point hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and |
| multicast messages. |
Protection Mode | It provides best performance for 11g transmission when you enable it. |
Transmit Rate | When you enable the station mode selection to “802.11b” and it allows |
| you to select the speed of |
| selection to “802.11g” and it allows you to select the speed of |
