Specify Your Network Settings

 

• 

Beacon Interval:

 Enter a value between 25 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the 

duration between which beacon packets are broadcasted by the router to synchronize 
the wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds.

• 

RTS Threshold: 

Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size of 

data transmission through the router. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold 
size is 2346. If the packet size is greater than the preset threshold, the router sends 
Request to Send frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending 
of a data frame, or else the packet will be sent immediately.

• 

DTIM Interval: 

Enter a value between 1 and 255 to determine the interval of the 

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). 1 indicates the DTIM Interval is the same 
as 

Beacon Interval

.

• 

Group Key Update Period:

 Enter the number of seconds to control the time interval 

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

• 

Enable WMM: 

This feature guarantees the packets with high-priority messages being 

transmitted preferentially. WMM is enabled compulsively under 802.11n or 802.11ac 
mode. It is strongly recommended to enable WMM.

• 

Enable Short GI:

 This feature is enabled by default and recommended to increase the 

data capacity by reducing the Guard Interval (GI) time.

• 

AP Isolation: 

Select this checkbox to enable the AP Isolation feature that allows you to 

confine and restrict all wireless devices on your network from interacting with each 
other, but still able to access the Internet. AP isolation is disabled by default.

• 

WDS:

 Select this checkbox to enable the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Bridging 

feature to allow the router to bridge with another access point (AP) in a wireless local 
area network (WLAN). Refer to 

 for detailed instructions.
