1. Beacon interval: Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize

wireless devices.

2. Transmit Power: Normally the wireless transmission power operates at 100% out

power specification of this device. You can lower down the power ratio to prevent

transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated

wireless area.

3. RTS Threshold: If an excessive number of wireless packet collision occurred, the

wireless performance will be affected. It can be improved by adjusting the

RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) threshold value.

4. Fragmentation: Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to

improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF

coverage.

5. DTIM interval: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for

listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has

buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next

DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.

6. WMM Capable: WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting

multimedia content over a wireless connection.

7. WLAN Partition: You can check the WLAN Partition function to separate the

wireless clients associated to the same VAP

. The wireless clients can’t

communicate each other, but they can access the internet and other Ethernet LAN

devices
