Wireless Advanced
Choose menu “
Wireless
→
Wireless Advanced
”, and then you can configure the advanced
settings of your wireless network.
Figure 4-23 Wireless Advanced
¾
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 40-1000 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 since excessive packets. 2345 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
-38-

TL-WR720N

DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The
default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
¾
Enable WMM - WMM
function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages
being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended enabled.
¾
Enable Short GI -
This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by
reducing the guard interval time
.
¾
Enabled AP Isolation -
This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from
each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not with
each other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.

Note:
If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep
the provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.

DHCP Settings
”, and then you can configure the DHCP Server on the
page (shown in

the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must
have another DHCP server within your network or else you must configure the computer
manually.
¾
Start IP Address -
Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to start with when assigning
IP addresses. 192.168.0.100 is the default start address.
¾
End IP Address -
Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to end with when assigning IP

addresses. 192.168.0.199 is the default end address.
¾
Address Lease Time -
The
Address Lease Time
is the amount of time a network user will
be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP Address. Enter the
amount of time in minutes and the user will be "leased" this dynamic IP Address. After the
time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The range of
the time is 1 ~ 2880 minutes. The default value is 120 minutes.
¾
Default Gateway -
(Optional) Suggest to input the IP address of the LAN port of the Router,
default value is 192.168.0.1
¾
Default Domain -
(Optional) Input the domain name of your network.
¾
Primary DNS -
(Optional) Input the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Or consult your
ISP.
¾
Secondary DNS -
(Optional) Input the IP address of another DNS server if your ISP
provides two DNS servers.

Note:
To use the DHCP server function of the Router, you must configure all computers on the LAN as
"Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode.

address for clients via the next screen (shown in
Figure 4-28
). When you specify a reserved IP
address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it
accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to the servers that
require permanent IP settings.
