Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. 

The beacons are the packets sent by the Router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon 

Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.   

¾

 

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.  

¾

 

Fragmentation Threshold - This value is the maximum size determining whether packets 

will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network 

performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is 

recommended.  

¾

 

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 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates 

the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.   

¾

 

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

transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended.   

¾

 

Enable Short GI - This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by 

reducing the guard interval time

.  

¾

 

Enabled AP Isolation - This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from 

each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not with each 

other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.

If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep 

the provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance. 

Choose menu “Wireless  → Wireless Statistics”, you can see the MAC Address, Current Status, 

Received Packets and Sent Packets for each connected wireless station.
