Description

“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.

When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

The interval of time that this access point broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.

Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 3.

The Data Rate is the rate of data transmission for 802.11b/g clients. The WNRT-620 will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.

Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value for 802.11n clients. Since most of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically. Please refer to “N Data Rate Table” as below.

Set channel width of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you don’t know what it is, default setting is ‘Auto 20/40 MHz’.

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.

If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this WNRT-620 easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. In private network, disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.

Users can adjust the WNRT-620 output power to 100%, 90%, 75% 50% 25% and 10%. In default, WNRT-620 will work with 100% output power.

The short of Wi-Fi Multi-Media, it will enhance the data transfer performance of multimedia contents when they’re being transferred over wireless network.

After configuration complete, please click “Apply” button to save the configuration. Then you will see a screen to prompt you the settings are saving successfully. You may press “Continue” for configure other settings or “Apply” to restart WNRT-620 with new configuration. Please refer to section 4.2.7 for more information about this screen.
