This section introduces advanced configuration of the wireless access point. If you are not familiar with the
following functions, keep the default parameters. In some cases, incorrect settings may reduce wireless
performance.

Transmission Rate:
You can select it from the drop-down list. Auto rate changes automatically to get
better throughput depending on the range and environment of
the
wireless network.
Transmit Power:
You can adjust the percentage of power 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 of your VoIP Router to
change the coverage of wireless network. Keep the default value, 100% to reach full range.
Beacon Period:
It
indicates the frequency interval of target beacon transmission time which can be found
in a packet body. The VoIP Router transmits the beacon packet to help a wireless client to identify the
existence of nearby AP (Access Point). If the beacon intervals are too long, it would be hard to access the
network. If the beacon intervals are too short, the resources would be wasted. The default value is
100
.
RTS Threshold:
It is a mechanism to implement in collision avoidance. In a large wireless network, two
stations do not hear each other but can hear wireless access point. When the two send data to AP (Access
Point) at the same time, it may result in data collision and a loss of messages for both wireless stations. In
most case, it is recommended to keep the default value:2347.
Fragmentation Threshold:
A packet can be fragmented into small units to pass over a network medium
that can not support the original packet size. If you encounter a busy network, a lower value of fragment
threshold could improve performance. If the traffic flows are not very busy, a higher fragment threshold
provides good network performance. In most case, it is recommended to keep the default value: 2346.
