one. The default value is 100 (the unit is millisecond, or 1/1000 second). Lower the Beacon
Interval to improve transmission performance in unstable environment or for roaming clients,
but it will be power consuming.
Data Rate: Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most of wireless
devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s
not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after change the value.
[Auto] is recommended to maximize performance.
Preamble type: Preamble is the first sub field of PPDU, which is the appropriate frame format
for transmission to PHY (Physical layer). There are two options, Short Preamble and Long
Preamble.
Short GI: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also
increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency
reflections
