Description

 

 

 

 

 

are mixed wireless networks in the surrounding area from

 

 

802.11a/b/g networks.

 

 

 

 

Afterburner™ Technology

This is also a performance-enhancing Wi-Fi technology that

 

 

enhances the existing 802.11g standard by increasing

 

 

throughput by 40 percent.

 

 

 

 

Rate

Forces the transmission rate for the AP to a particular speed.

 

 

Auto will provide the best performance in nearly all situations.

 

 

 

 

Output Power

Sets the output power as a percentage of the hardware’s

 

 

maximum capability.

 

 

 

 

Beacon Interval

Sets the beacon interval for the AP. The default is 100, which

 

 

is fine for nearly all applications.

 

 

 

 

DTIM Interval

Sets the wakeup interval for clients in Power Save mode.

 

 

When a client is running in Power Save mode, lower values

 

 

provide higher performance, while higher values provide lower

 

 

performance.

 

 

 

 

Fragmentation Threshold

Sets the fragmentation threshold. Packets exceeding this

 

 

threshold will be fragmented into packets no larger than the

 

 

threshold before packet transmission.

 

 

 

 

RTS Threshold

Sets the RTS threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will

 

 

cause the AP to perform an RTS/CTS exchange to reserve the

 

 

wireless medium before packet transmission.
