°
Fragment Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in
order to improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between
256 and 65535. The default value is 2346.
°
DTIM Interval
: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access
Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The
default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
°
Wireless Isolation
: Place a check in this box in order to prevent associated
wireless clients from communicating with each other.
°
WMM Enable
: Enable WMM in order to help control latency and jitter when
transmitting multimedia content over a wireless connection.
°
WDS
: Place a check in this box to enable WDS (Wireless Distribution
System). When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless
repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links.
Note
that WDS is incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot be used at
the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC
Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a
WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same
channel number.
°
WDS AP MAC Address
: Specify one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must
also have the MAC address of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP.

Advanced Network
In this section you can configure the UPnP, WAN Ping, WAN port speed, multicast
streams, and PPPoE pass-through settings.
°
Enable UPnP
: Place a check in this box to enable UPnP.
UPnP is short for
Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This
router has optional UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices
and software.
°
Allow Users to disable Internet Access
: Place a check in this box if you
would like to allow to user to terminate the WAN session.
°
Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings
: Place a check in this box
if you would like the users to add, modify, or delete server mapping entries.
