• Basic Rate—the set of data transfer rates that all the
stations will be capable of using to receive frames from a
wireless medium.
• Fragmentation Threshold—used to fragment packets which
help improve performance in the presence of radio
frequency (RF) interference.
• RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)—determines
the packet size of a transmission through the use of the
router to help control traffic flow.
• DTIM Interval—sets the Wake-up interval for clients in
power-saving mode.
• Beacon Interval—a packet of information that is sent from a
connected device to all other devices where it announces
its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period
of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon
again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds
(ms).
• Xpress Technology—a technology that utilizes standards
based on framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With
Xpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (the
sum of the individual throughput speeds of each client on
the network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g only
networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of
802.11g and 802.11b equipment.
• 54g Mode— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology.
• 54g Protection--the 802.11g standards provide a protection
method so 802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the
same network without “speaking” at the same time. Do not
disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b
device may need to use your wireless network. In Auto
Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to
Send / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn protection off to
maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.
• WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)—feature that improves the your
experience for audio, video and voice applications over a
Wi-Fi network.
