In Auto mode the AP will use RTS/CTS protection to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g + 802.11b networks. Turn protection Off to maximize 802.11g
throughput under most conditions.
Xpress Technology:
Enable Broadcom proprietary method of block frame acknowledgement for 802.11g
frames. This feature may improve throughput, but may cause problems.
Afterburner Technology
This feature removes the need for the acknowledgement of data frames. It may
improve throughput, but may cause problems.
802.11n Protection:
Similar to 54g protection except it applies to 802.11n devices.
Basic Rate Set:
Determines which rates are advertised as “basic” rates. Default uses the driver
defaults. Sets all available rates as basic rates.
Multicast Rate:
This is the rate at which you send out multicast packets to stations. Multicast packets
are not acknowledged.
NPHY Rate:
Choose 802.11n rate to be applied to all unicast packets.
Legacy Rate:
“N” mode must be off on the “radio” webpage for this control to be active. When
active the user can force the rate in which the AP will operate.
Beacon Interval:
Sets the beacon interval in milliseconds for the AP. The default is 100, which is fine
for nearly all applications.
DTIM Interval:
Sets the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode. When a client is running in
power save mode, lower values provide higher performance but result in decreased
client battery life, while higher values provide lower performance but result in
increased client battery life.
Fragmentation Threshold:
Sets the fragmentation threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will be
fragmented into packets no larger than the threshold before packet transmission.
RTS Threshold:
