Wireless Advance Settings -
The page below can help users to configure advanced wireless setting. Before
making any changes at this page, please check your wireless settings on other
system as well, as these changes will alter the effectiveness of the Access Point.
In most cases, these settings do not need to be changed.
z Data Rate – In data rate column you can select all bit rate supported in
current operation mode. Default value is “best” means the system will
automatically adjust the connection speed dynamically according to your
current link status.
z Transmit Power – You can adjust the RF output power by selecting
Full/Half (-3dB) / Quarter (-6dB) / Eighth (-9dB) / Minimum. To change
transmit power may decrease your wireless signal coverage.
z Beacon Interval (20-1000) – This value indicates the frequency
interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point
to keep the network synchronized. A beacon includes the wireless LAN
service area, the AP address, the Broadcast destination address, a time
stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message
(TIM).
z Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) (1-16384) – This value indicated how often
the Access Point sends out a Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Lower
settings result in more efficient networking, while preventing your PC from
dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow your PC to
enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions.
z Fragment Length (256-2346) – This specifies the maximum size a
data packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet and should
remain at its default setting of 2,346. A smaller setting means smaller
packets, which will create more packets for each transmission. If you have
decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can
increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance.
Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
z RTS/CTS Threshold (256-2346) – This setting determines how larget
a packet can be before the Access Point coordinates transmission and
reception to ensure efficient communication. This value should remain at
its default setting of 2,346. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow,
only minor modifications are recommended.
