Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set 
depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a 
range of transmission speeds. 
CTS Protection Mode: CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to 
minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area 
network (LAN). The default setting is Auto and the Router automatically 
uses CTS Protection Mode when your Wireless-G products are 
experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the Router 
in an environment with heavy traffic. This function boosts the Router’s 
ability to catch all Wireless-B and Wireless-G transmissions, but it 
severely decreases performance. 
Beacon interval: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to 
synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default 
setting. 
DTIM Interval: The default setting for DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication 
Message) is 3. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next 
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. 
Fragmentation Threshold: The fragmentation threshold, which is 
specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. 
Packets exceeding the setting value will be fragmented before 
transmission. 2346 is the default setting.   
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If 
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be 
made.
