D-Link DIR-455 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point

to synchronize a wireless network. Specify

a value. 100 is the default setting and is

recommended.

Set the transmit power of the antennas.

This value should remain at its default setting

of 2347. If inconsistent data flow is a problem,

only a minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified

in bytes, determines whether packets will be

fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte

setting will be fragmented before transmission.

2346 is the default setting.

A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening

to broadcast and multicast messages. The default interval is 3.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is QoS (Quality of Service) system for your wireless network. Enable this option to

improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients.

Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly

recommended to keep this setting to

Auto.
