Advance setting: when you press the “Advance Setting button”, the dialog box below will appear. You can set more details parameters in this screen.
SSID Broadcast: This allows the AP to broadcast its SSID. Other wireless client with site survey function can easily know this SSID and use this SSID to connect your access point. To secure your wireless network from unauthorized users, please disable this function.
Beacon Interval: Specify the Beacon Interval value. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network.
RTS Threshold: Use this field to specify a value for the RTS Threshold. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold: This field is used to specify the fragmentation threshold. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval: Specify the Beacon Rate. Enter a value between 1 and 255 that specifies the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Transmission Rates: Select the desired transmission rates by clicking on the drop down list. The default setting is “Auto”.
11G Only Mode: Enabling 11g only mode maximizes the performance of
