5. WIFI MANAGER N FOR ADVANCED USERS 
WiFi Manager N has been designed to respond to the needs of the widest cross-section of the public.  Thus, 
after having explained the most useful functionalities in the previous chapters, we dedicate this chapter to 
users who wish to take advantage of the subtleties of WiFi, and explore their access point’s more advanced 
functionalities.  But be careful!  Modifying certain settings may have a negative impact on the proper 
functioning of your network, and therefore on your access point.  You should bear in mind, however, that 
nothing is irreversible, and that you can always return to the original configuration or reload a personalized 
configuration. 
 In certain cases, your settings will only be taken into account after WiFi Manager N has restarted. 
5.1. Configuring your WiFi network’s advanced options 
 This window contains settings which affect the functioning of your Hercules access point.  If you do not 
know their functions, we recommend that you keep the default settings. 
- In  the  General settings window, click the Your 
WiFi connection settings
 button. 
- In  the  Your WiFi connection settings  window, 
click the Expert WiFi settings button. 
- The Fragmentation threshold consists of defining 
the size at which data packets are fragmented.  If 
the size is less than the predefined amount, the 
packet is not fragmented.  By contrast, if the size is 
greater, the packet is fragmented before being 
transmitted, then reconstituted at the access point.  
Fragmentation lets you improve the success of 
transmissions. 
- When  an  RTS threshold is defined, the wireless 
device asks the 
access point
 for authorization to 
transmit data, thereby avoiding data arriving 
simultaneously (risk of collision). 
Modifying the RTS threshold may affect your access 
point's performance. 
- The Beacon Period allows you to define the 
wireless network detection interval. 
- The 
DTIM interval corresponds to the 
interval between two synchronous frames containing 
information on the transmission messages.
