Description
Beacon Interval
Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to synchronize the wireless
network. The beacon interval is the time interval between beacons sending by this
unit in AP or AP+WDS operation. The default and recommended beacon interval
is 100 milliseconds.
Data Beacon
Rate(DTM)
This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert the clients that
multicast and broadcast packets buffered at the AP will be transmitted
immediately after the transmission of this beacon frame. You can change the
value from 1 to 255. The AP will check the buffered data according to this value.
For example, selecting “1” means to check the buffered data at every beacon.
Fragment
Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are fragmented
(sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. This
function will help you to improve the network performance.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request
to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be
useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in
areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each
