Transmit Power -

Here you can specify the transmit power of Router. You can

select High, Middle or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is

recommended.

¾

Beacon Interval -

Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval

here. The beacons are the packets sent by the Router to synchronize a wireless

network. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The

default value is 100.

¾

RTS Threshold -

Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the

packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the Router will send RTS

frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame.

The default value is 2346.

¾

Fragmentation Threshold -

This value is the maximum size determining whether

packets will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result

in poor network performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default

setting and is recommended.

¾

DTIM Interval -

This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication

Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next

window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has

buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next

DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon
