The page includes the following fields:

Object

Description

Beacon Interval

Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. The

beacons are the packets sent by the AP to synchronize a wireless network.

Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The

default value is 100.

RTS Threshold

Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is

larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the AP will send RTS frames to

a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The

default value is 2346.

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 since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting

and is recommended.

DTIM Interval

This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message

(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window

for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered

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

DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255
