Setting	Description
Beacon Interval (100–1000)	Enter the interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each beacon
	transmission, which allows the wireless access point to synchronize
	the wireless network. The default setting is 100.
Aggregation Length (1024–65535)	Enter the maximum length of aggregated MAC protocol data unit
	(A-MPDU) packets. Larger aggregation lengths could lead to better

AMPDU	Select the Enable radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC
	frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabling

802.11a mode.
DTIM Interval (1–255)	Enter the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) interval, also
	referred to as the data beacon rate, which indicates the beacon
	delivery traffic indication message period in multiples of beacon
	intervals. This value needs to be between 1 and 255. The default
	setting is 3.
Preamble Type	Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the preamble type:

	both long and short preambles. The default setting is Auto.

Client Isolation	From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:
	• Enable. Communication between wireless clients that are
	associated to different virtual access points (VAPs) is blocked.
	• Disable. Communication between wireless clients that are
	associated to different VAPs is allowed. This is the default setting.
Max. Wireless Clients	Enter the maximum number of wireless clients that can simultaneously
	connect to the wireless access point at one time. The default setting is
	128 clients.
