CONFIGURATION

 

 

Field

Description

RTS Threshold

The packet size at which an access point issues

 

a request to send (RTS). The range is 0 to 2347

 

bytes.

 

If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only

 

minor modifications are recommended. If

 

needed, enter a new value.

 

The default is 2347.

Fragmentation

The size at which packets are fragmented and

Threshold

transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at

 

once. The setting must be within the range of

 

256 to 2346 bytes.

 

If needed, enter a new value.

 

The default is 2346.

Beacon Period

The Beacon Period and Delivery Traffic

 

Indicator Maps (DTIM) work together to keep

 

power management in check. For example, if a

 

client does not receive a beacon within a certain

 

time period, it goes to sleep. This is why

 

lowering the beacon period and DTIM period

 

settings may keep sleepy clients awake.

 

However, DTIM and Beacon settings do use

 

additional bandwidth. So, setting them too low

 

can have an effect on WI-FI performance. On

 

the other hand, if no wireless clients use power

 

management, then increasing the DTIM and

 

Beacon settings may improve overall

 

throughput. Usually the default settings are fine.

 

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).

 

If needed, enter a new value and click Apply to

 

save the setting.

 

The default is 100.
