Advanced wireless settings
Wireless > Advanced
These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
•Beacon Interval – A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information about the router’s wireless network. The interval is the amount time between each beacon transmission.
Default Value:100 milliseconds (range:
•RTS Threshold – The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2346 (range:
•Fragmentation Threshold – Fragmentation in wireless networks is the process of breaking down data communications into smaller data packets in order to improve data efficiency when transferring or receiving data between wireless devices. The fragmentation threshold defines the maximum size of the data packets that are broken down.
Default Value: 2346 (range: 1500~2346, even numbers only)
•DTIM Interval – A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is an informational message that is sent as part of a beacon by an access point (your wireless router) to a wireless client (wireless device or connecting station) in sleep mode to provide an alert that data is awaiting delivery. The DTIM Interval (also called Data Beacon Rate) is the amount of time between DTIM transmissions included in part of a beacon.
Default Value: 1 (range:
