the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Access Point Clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and
1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the wireless router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller
than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The wireless router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station
responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the
right to begin transmission.
Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size
for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. It
should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you experience a
high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result
in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
AP Mode or Wireless Bridge Mode: wireless router can operate
in two modes. When the AP Mode is selected, the device operates
as a normal Access Point. Proving every wireless client station a
