Sets the transmit power of the antennas.

Note:

Transmit power is regulated by international

standard. Users are forbidden to change its maximum limit.

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize

a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default

setting and is recommended.

(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.

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.

WMM is a Quality of Service (QoS) system for your wireless network. Enabling this feature will improve the quality of video

and voice applications for your wireless clients.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity.

However, this setting less reliable

and may create higher data loss.

Select this checkbox to enable IGMP snooping. IGMP snooping is a layer 2 feature which enables the device to learn Multicast

group membership based on IGMP messages passing through the built-in switch. Because the switch learns the IGMP

messages and knows which clients are involved in the multicast group membership, it is able to forward multicast trafﬁc only

to the ports that requested for it (based on their membership).

Select this checkbox to enable WLAN partition. If this feature is enabled, then there is no barrier between communication

among wireless stations connecting to the Access Point. If this is disabled, wireless clients are not allowed to exchange data

through the Access Point.
