Set the transmit power of the antennas.

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

2432. 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) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window

for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

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

clients.

Enable this option to prevent associated wireless clients from communicating with each other.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may

create higher data loss.

WISH Settings

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using

a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.

Enable this option if you want to allow WISH

to prioritize your traffic.

Enable WISH:

Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers

for many common audio and video streams

and prioritize them above other traffic. Such

streams are frequently used by digital media

players.

HTTP:

Enables the router to recognize certain audio

and video streams generated by a Windows

Media Center PC and to prioritize these above

other traffic. Such streams are used by systems

known as Windows Media Extenders, such as

the Xbox 360.

Windows Media

Center:

When enabled, this option causes the router

to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic

streams that it doesn’t otherwise recognize,

based on the behaviour that the streams

exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that

exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as

file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic,

such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal

priority.

Automatic:

WISH Rules:

A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers

ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.

WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the highest

priority will be used.

The priority of the message flow is entered

here. The four priorities are defined as:

BK:

Background (least urgent)

BE:

Best Effort.

VI:

Video

VO:

Voice (most urgent)

Priority:

The protocol used by the messages.

Protocol:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which one computer’s IP address falls within the range set here.

Host IP Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host’s port number is within the range set here.

some extra security from hackers. Check the box

to allow the Internet port to be “pinged”.

Select from the drop-down menu if you would like

to apply the Inbound Filter to the WAN ping. Refer
