• Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by the

router to synchronize a wireless network. The value

of beacon interval is depending on the environment

where the router is operating. Specify a Beacon

interval value between 1 and 1000(units: ms). The

default value is set to 100 milliseconds, i.e., ten

beacons per second.

• RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold is the packet size

at which packet transmission is governed by the

RTS/CTS transaction. Each station can have a

different RTS threshold. If you encounter inconsistent

data flow, only minor modifications are recom-

mended. The default value for RTS Threshold is set

to 2347.

• Fragment Threshold: This value should remain at its

default setting of 2346. If you experience a high

packet error rate, you may modify slightly your

“Fragmentation” value within the value range of 800

to 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may

result in poor performance.

• DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for

the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A

DTIM is a countdown 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. Its

clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive

the broadcast and multicast messages. The default

value for DTIM interval is set to 1.
