Beacons are packets sent by an access point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.

100 is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting

of 2346. 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.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the

default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing

clients of the next window for listening to

broadcast and multicast messages.

Select Short or Long Preamble. The default setting in Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block

(Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the

access point and roaming wireless network adapters. High network traffic areas should use the short preamble type.

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients.

Select Enable to allow multicast traffic to pass through the AP.

Select Enable to convert multicast streams to unicast streams.

Configure the multicast data rate, the drop down manual options are 54Mbps, 48Mbps, 36Mbps, 24Mbps, 12Mbps, 9Mbps,
