Contention
Slot
Select “Short” or “Long” – this value is used for contention
windows in WMM.
Preamble
Type
Set the wireless radio preamble type. The preamble type in
802.11 based wireless communications defines the length of the
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication
between the AP and roaming wireless adapters. The default
value is “Short Preamble”.
Guard
Interval
Set the guard interval. A shorter interval can improve
performance.
802.11g
Protection
Enable/disable 802.11g protection, which increases reliability but
reduces bandwidth (clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to
AP, and AP will broadcast Clear to Send (CTS), before a packet is
sent from client).
802.11n
Protection
Enable/disable 802.11n protection, which increases reliability
but reduces bandwidth (clients will send Request to Send (RTS)
to AP, and AP will broadcast Clear to Send (CTS), before a packet
is sent from client).
DTIM
Period
Set the DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) period value of
the wireless radio. The default value is 1.
RTS
Threshold
Set the RTS threshold of the wireless radio. The default value is
2347.
Fragment
Threshold
Set the fragment threshold of the wireless radio. The default
value is 2346.
Multicast
Rate
Set the transfer rate for multicast packets or use the “Auto”
setting. The range of the transfer rate is between 1Mbps to
54Mbps
Tx Power
Set the power output of the wireless radio. You may not require
100% output power. Setting a lower power output may enhance
security since access to your signal can be potentially prevented
from malicious/unknown users in distant areas.
Beacon
Interval
Set the beacon interval of the wireless radio. The default value is
100.
Station
idle
timeout
Set the interval for the AP to send keepalive messages to a
wireless client to check if the station is still alive / active.
