Fragment Threshold | “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of packet during the |
| fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result |
| in bad performance. |
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. |
Beacon Interval | The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to |
| synchronize the wireless network. |
Data Rate | The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets. The |
| access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit |
| the data packets. |
Preamble Type | Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless |
| communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic wireless network. |
| “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable communication. |
Broadcast ESSID | If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the |
| coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are |
| building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. |
| Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security. |
IAPP | If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast information of |
| associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help wireless station |
| roaming smoothly between access points. If you have more than one access |
| points in your wireless LAN and wireless stations have roaming requirements, |
| enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “IAPP” can provide better |
| security. |
