Configuring the Advanced Wireless Settings
We recommend that the Advanced Wireless Settings should be modified only by an administrator
very familiar with the ramifications of changing the Wireless LAN parameters. If set incorrectly,
they can adversely affect the performance or connectivity of your wireless access point. The
default settings should be adequate in most situations. Following is a description of each of the
Wireless LAN Parameters.
• WMM Support
. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that
provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four
access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both the application and the client running that application must be
WMM-enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not
require QoS, are assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than
voice and video.
The default setting is Enabled.
• R
TS Threshold. The Request to Send Threshold packet size determines if the wireless access
point should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection)
mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission:
– With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitti
ng station sends out the actual
packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period.
