Performance

Beacon Interval -

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless

network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended.

RTS Threshold -

This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsistent

data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.

countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast

messages.

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.
