Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The
default (
100
) is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save the power of wireless clients, while setting
a lower one can help a wireless client connect to an access point faster.
Select a Delivery Traffic Indication Message setting between
1
and
15
.
1
is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown inform-
ing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
This setting determines the power level of the wireless transmission. Transmitting power can be adjusted to eliminate
overlapping of wireless area coverage between two access points where interference is a major concern. For example, if
wireless coverage is intended for half of the area, then select
50%
as the option. Use the pull-down menu to select
100%
,
50%
,
25%

WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. Enabling this feature will improve the user experience for audio and video applications
over a Wi-Fi network.
To effectively optimize throughput over long distance links enter a value for Acknowledgement Time Out between
25

200
microseconds for 5 GHz or from
64
to
200
microseconds in the 2.4 GHz in the field provided.
Select
Enable

. Enabling a short guard interval can increase throughput. However, be aware that it can also
increase the error rate in some installations due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency installations.
Select
Enable

. Internet Group Management Protocol allows the AP to recognize IGMP queries and reports
sent between routers and an IGMP host (wireless STA). When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will forward multicast
packets to an IGMP host based on IGMP messages passing through the AP.
Select
Enable

Disable
.
If the Ethernet connection between the LAN and the AP is disconnected, enabling this feature
will cause the wireless segment associated with the AP to be disassociated from the AP.

. This is an option for load balancing. This determines whether to limit the number of users
accessing this device. The exact number is entered in the User Limit field below. This feature allows the user to share the
wireless network traffic and the client using multiple APs. If this function is enabled, when the number of users exceeds
this value, the DAP-2553 will not allow clients to associate with the AP.
Set the maximum amount of users that are allowed access (
