| field. |
|
| A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz |
|
| channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps. However, not all |
|
| devices support 40MHz channels. |
|
| Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network. |
|
| It is recommended that you select 20/40MHz. This allows the |
|
| channel bandwidth depending on network conditions. |
|
| Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your |
|
| neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. |

Beacon Interval | When a wirelessly network device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval. |
| This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells |
| receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in lowpower mode before waking |
| up to handle the beacon. A high value helps save current consumption of the access point. |
|
|
DTIM Interval | Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and |
| multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power Management |
| mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. |
