Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that
could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a
remedy.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.

Short Preamble

Wi-Fi Multimedia

WMM Capable

WMM Power Save is a set of features for Wi-Fi networks that help conserve
battery power in small devices such as phones, PDAs, and audio players. The
certification for both access points and client devices uses mechanisms from the
recently ratified IEEE 802.11e standard, and is an enhancement of legacy 802.11
power saves. WMM Power Save helps pave the way for rapid proliferation of Wi-
Fi technology into devices dependent on battery power.
Select Disable or Enable to use or stop Wi-Fi Multimedia function. (Default
setting is Enable.)

APSD Capable

Automatic Power Save Delivery is a more efficient power management method
than legacy 802.11 Power Save Polling. Most new 802.11 stations already
support a power management mechanism similar to APSD. APSD is very useful
for a VoIP phone, as data rates are roughly the same in both directions.
Whenever Voice data are sent to the Access Point, the Access Point is triggered
to send the buffered Voice data in the other direction. After that the Voice over
IP phone enters doze state until next Voice data have to be sent to the Access
Point.
Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default setting is Disable.)

DLS Capable

Direct Link Setup, this function will be enabled under the connection with AP
which must support the DLS function. Direct Link Setup allows direct STA-to-STA
frame transfer within a BSS (Basic Service Set). This is designed for consumer
use, where STA-to-STA transfer is more commonly used.
Select Disable or Enable this function. (Default setting is Disable.)
