Fragment Threshold
Specifies the size of the packet per fragment. Selecting a smaller number can
reduce the chance of packet collision.
However, when the value is set too low, increased overhead will likely result in
poor performance.
RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, the packet will be sent
without RTS/CTS handshake which may result in incorrect transmission.
Beacon Interval
The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is used to
synchronize all wireless clients on the network.
DTIM Period
A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that the access
point will be sending Multicast data.
N Data Rate
You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients. Each
Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) refers to a specific transfer speed.
Channel Bandwidth
Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz.
To achieve maximum 802.11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used.
Preamble Type
A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client.
Long Preamble is standard-based so it increases compatibility.
Short Preamble is not standard-based so it decreases compatibility; however it
also increases performance. Auto as default.
Tx Power
Set the power output of the wireless signal.
