RTS Threshold

wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this 
packet. 
 
Beacon Interval       
The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon. 
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. 
 
DTIM Period 
Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. Do not modify default 
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 3. 
 
Data Rate 
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most 
of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a 
proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to 
change this value unless you know what will happen after 
modification. 
 
N Data Rate 
Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients.  
 
Channel Width 
Set channel width of wireless radio. Do not modify default value 
if you don’t know what it is, default setting is ‘Auto 20/40 MHz’.

The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN 
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better 
wireless LAN performance.

You can hide the ESSID of your wireless router by selecting

CTS Protect
 
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This 
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 
802.11b and 802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the 
protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a 
little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted. 
 
Tx Power  
 
 
You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless you are  
 
 
using this wireless router in a really big space, you may not have 
 
 
to set output power to 100%. This will enhance security    
 
 
(malicious / unknown users in distance will not be able to reach  
 
 
your wireless router).

The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data transfer 
performance of multimedia contents when they are being 
transferred over wireless network. The default value is “Disable”.
