This page is used to specify advanced configuration details.

AP Name: This is the name of the AP that was selected to be configured.

Beacon Interval: enter the amount of time in milliseconds between beacon transmissions.

Dtim Interval: this interval sets when the delivery traffic indication message is sent; related to

beacon interval.

RTS Threshold: the Request to Send (RTS) threshold is the value the AP checks against its

transmitting frames to determine if the RTS/CTS handshake is required with the receiving client.

Using a small value causes RTS packets to be sent more often, consuming more of the available

bandwidth, therefore reducing the apparent throughput of the network packet. The default is

2346, which effectively disables RTS.

Fragmentation Threshold: this is the maximum length of the frame, beyond which packet must

be broken up (fragmented) into two or more frames. Collisions occur more often for long frames
