6.5.5 Advanced

It allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You can

select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a

particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup

interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set

XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used

Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your

network settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in

order to function correctly.

Rate: The default setting is Auto. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data

transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can

select from one transmission speed, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have the IAD

automatically use the fastest possible data rate.

Multicast Rate: The default setting is 54Mbps. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The

rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless

network. You can select from one transmission speed, or keep the default setting, to

have the IAD automatically use the fastest data rate for multicast packets.

Basic Rate: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support.

Fragmentation Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The

range is 256~2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is

fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may

slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting this value too low may result in

poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
