Specify Your Network Settings
• Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 25 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the
duration between which beacon packets are broadcasted by the router to synchronize
the wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds.
• DTIM Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 255 to determine the interval of the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). 1 indicates the DTIM Interval is the same
as Beacon Interval.
• Fragmentation Threshold: This value is the maximum size determining whether
packets will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result
in poor network performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default
setting and is recommended.
• RTS Threshold: Enter a value between 1 and 2347 to determine the packet size of
data transmission through the router. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
size is 2347. If the packet size is greater than the preset threshold, the router sends
Request to Send frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame, or else the packet will be sent immediately.
• Short GI: This feature is enabled by default and recommended to increase the data
capacity by reducing the Guard Interval (GI) time.
• Enable WMM: This feature guarantees the packets with high-priority messages being
transmitted preferentially. WMM is enabled compulsively under 802.11n or 802.11ac
mode. It is strongly recommended to enable WMM.
• Enable Power Save Support: Select the checkbox to enable this function. This function
allows the router to keep only one antenna in working condition while the remaining
antennas dormant, so as to achieve the purpose of saving power.
