This setting should remain at its default setting of 3200. If you experience a
high packet error rate, you may slightly adjust your “Fragmentation” value
somewhere in the between the recommended range of 256 to 3200. Setting
the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
This setting should remain at its default setting of 3200. If you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value are
recommended.
Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless
devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default
value is set to 100 milliseconds.
The default value is set to 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255. 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. Wireless clients hear the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
This enables 802.11d opration. 802.11d is a wireless specification
developed to allow implementation of wireless networks in countries that
cannot use the 802.11 standard. This feature should only be enabled if you
are in a country that requires it.
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless bridge and
is able to wirelessly communicate with other AP’s via WDS links.
Note: WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at
the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional so this AP must know the MAC
address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have
a WDS link back to this AP (the router).
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC
address of this AP (the router) to create the WDS link back to the router.
