• RTS Threshold – Request to Send management packet. With smaller RTS
length value, the wireless network can recover from interference and
collisions quicker at a cost of reducing the maximum throughput. Network
with heaving loading or interference is advised to use smaller value of
RTS.
• Fragmentation Threshold – Fragmentation of packet into desired length.
Network with high packet error should use smaller value. Use of small
value will results in lower throughput due to more overheads is
introduced.
• DTIM Interval – Delivery Traffic Indication Message is a countdown
mechanism for informing associated stations of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM
interval value. Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. A range of value 1 to 255 is permitted.
The default value is 1.
