Manage the Router

• Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval

here. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The beacons

are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. The default

value is 100.

• RTS Threshold - Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the

packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames

to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default

value is 2346.

• DTIM Interval - This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication

Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window

for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the router has buffered

broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with

a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-15 Beacon Intervals. The

default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

• Group Key Update Period - Enter the number of seconds (minimum 30) to control the

time interval for the encryption key automatic renewal. The default is 0, indicating no

key renewal.

• Enable WMM - WMM function can guarantee the packets with high-priority messages

being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended to enable this function.

• Enable Short GI - It is recommended to enable this function, for it will increase the

data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.

• AP Isolation Feature - If you want to confine and restrict all devices connected to your

network from internet interacting with each other but still able to access the internet,

select the checkbox to enable this function.
