SECTION 3, CONFIGURATION
Field
Description
RTS Threshold
The packet size at which an access point issues
a request to send (RTS). The range is 0 to 2347
bytes.
If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only
minor modifications are recommended. If
needed, enter a new value.
The default is 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The size at which packets are fragmented and
transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at
once. The setting must be within the range of
256 to 2346 bytes.
If needed, enter a new value.
The default is 2346.
Beacon Period
The Beacon Period and Delivery Traffic
Indicator Maps (DTIM) work together to keep
power management in check. For example, if a
client does not receive a beacon within a certain
time period, it goes to sleep. This is why
lowering the beacon period and DTIM period
settings may keep sleepy clients awake.
However, DTIM and Beacon settings do use
additional bandwidth. So, setting them too low
can have an effect on WI-FI performance. On
the other hand, if no wireless clients use power
management, then increasing the DTIM and
Beacon settings may improve overall
throughput. Usually the default settings are fine.
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to
keep the network synchronized. You are able to
set the Beacon Period value from 1 to 65535 in
Time Units (TU).
If needed, enter a new value and click
Apply
to
save the setting.
The default is 100.

Description
DTIM Period
You are able to set the Delivery Traffic Indicator
Maps (DTIM) period value from 1 to 255 in
multiples of Beacon Periods.
If needed, enter a new value and click
Apply
to
save the setting.
The default is 3.
Basic Rate Set
The router broadcasts different transmission
rates so clients know which transmission rate to
use to join the network. The default is Default.
The options are:
1 to 2
Mbps
The slowest speed available.
Default
Ensures compatibility with
802.11b or 802.11g devices
All
Ensures compatibility with all
devices.
11g Protection
Mode
Ensures that your wireless router does not
interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11b
networks cannot hear 802.11g networks, but
802.11g networks can hear 802.11b networks.
802.11g networks cause collisions on 802.11b
networks so the Protection Mode forces the
802.11g network to negotiate around the
802.11b network. The default is Auto.
The options are:
Disable
802.11g Protection Mode is
never used.
Auto
802.11g Protection Mode is used
if either an 802.11b client joins
the network or the AP detects an
802.11b network on the same
channel
