Transmit Power Set the output power of the Router. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease
the output power to reduce interference with other APs.
WMM (Wi-Fi
Multimedia)
Use WMM (Wifi MultiMedia) to prioritize services in wireless traffic.
Select Au
to to automatically prioritize services according to the ToS value in the IP
header of packets.
Select Enabl
e to prioritize services according to the Router’s Quality of Service settings.

When using WMM, you can enable this to have the Router not re-send data if an error
occurs. This can increase throughput speed but may also increase errors, especially in
an environment with a lot of Radio Frequency (RF) noise. Otherwise leave it disabled.
WMM APSD When using WMM, enable APSD (Automatic
Power Save Delivery) to have the Router
manage radio usage to help increase battery life for battery-powered wireless clients.
APSD uses a longer beacon interval when transmitting traffic that does not require a
short packet exchange interval. For example, web browsing or using e-mail does not
require a short packet exchange interval but Voice Over IP (VoIP) does. The wireless
client must also support APSD for there to be any affect on the battery life.
Beamforming
Tr
ansmission
Enable beamforming to have the Router focus the wireless signal and aim it directly at
the wireless clients. Clear this option to disable beamforming. You may need to do this if
beamforming causes issues with IEEE 802.11 N, G, or B devices.
Short Guard
Interval
Enable short guard interval option to set the Router to use a reduced guard interval.
This increases throughput at the cost of an increased error rate in certain network
environments with greater radio interference.
Apply/Save Click this to save your changes back
to the Router.
