Fragment Threshold: Specifies the data packet fragmentation size threshold. When the data
packet is longer than the fragmentation size threshold, the packet will automatically be
divided into multiple packets. Small packets can cause poor network performance, so this
value should not be set too low. Small packets are only beneficial if periodic interference is
causing interference with larger packet sizes.
RTS Threshold: Specifies the data packet RTS (Request to Send) threshold. When the
packet length exceeds this value, the router will send an RTS to the destination site, and then
negotiates to receive the RTS frame. The wireless station responds with a CTS (Clear to
Send) frame to respond to the router.
Beacon Interval: Increasing the Beacon interval can increase the wireless network
performance. If you set the client-side beacon interval to a lower value (more frequent) you
can speed up the wireless client connection speed in a number of online and roaming
environments (such as public hotspots). Beacon units are usually in millisecond’s (1 / 1000
second), the default value is 100 ms.
Preamble Type: The router default uses a long preamble. This prevents the system from
being compatible with legacy IEEE802.11 systems operating at speeds of 1 and 2 Mbps.
IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol): When the terminal using IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is
roaming between access points, this protocol helps assist the transfer between access points
and assists with load balancing.
Protection: Conducive to the slower 11 b/g wireless clients. A complex variety of modes
can successfully connect to the 11n wireless network. The default is "Disabled."
Aggregation: Enhances the local area network to ensure the correct destination of the packet
mechanism.
Short GL: Can help to achieve high throughput, but it will affect backwards compatibility
and system security.
RF Output Power: If your wireless clients are placed close to your router, you can reduce the
transmit power to reduce interference with nearby systems and enhance security.
