Beacon Interval:

Beacon Interval:

Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here.

 

The beacons are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a

 

wireless network. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of

 

the beacons. The default value is 100.

RTS Threshold:

Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the

 

packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will

 

send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the

 

sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.

Fragmentation

This value is the maximum size determining whether packets will be

Threshold:

fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in

 

poor network performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default

 

setting and is recommended.

DTIM Interval:

This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication

 

Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of

 

the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

 

When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for

 

associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.

 

You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default

 

value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon

 

Interval.

Tips:

The modification of the Wireless Advanced will take effect only after the router is rebooted.
