Option Description
Beacon Interval (The default value is 100.) The value indicates the frequency
interval of the beacon in milliseconds. A beacon is a broadcast
packet sent by the AP to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Beacon Rate
(DTIM)
(The default value is 1.) The value indicates the interval of the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). This is a countdown
field that the device uses to inform its clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast or multicast messages.
RTS/CTS Threshold (The default value is 65535.) This option determines at what
packet length the RTS/CTS function is triggered. A lower
threshold may be necessary in an environment with excessive
signal noise or hidden nodes, but may result in some performance
degradation.
