Fragmentation 
Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for 
directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be 
sent. Enter an even number between 256 and 2346.
This field is not available when Super Mode is selected.
Beacon 
Interval
When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a 
beacon interval. This specifies the time period before the device sends 
the beacon again. The interval tells receiving devices on the network 
how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up to handle 
the beacon. This value can be set from 20 to 1024 ms. A high value 
helps save current consumption of the access point. 
DTIM Period
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which 
broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the 
Active Power Management mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to 
lose connectivity with the network. This value can be set from 1 to 10.
Preamble Type A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two 
preamble modes: long and short.
 
If a device uses a different preamble 
mode than the NBG-416N does, it cannot communicate with the NBG-
416N.
CTS Protection When set to None, the NBG-416N protects wireless communication 
against interference.
Select Auto to let the NBG-416N determine whether to turn this feature 
on or off in the current environment. 
Tx Power
This field controls the transmission power of the NBG-416N. When using 
the NBG-416N with a notebook computer, select a lower transmission 
power level when you are close to the AP in order to conserve battery 
power.
Extension 
Channel 
If you select Auto 20/40MHz as your Channel Bandwidth in the 
Wireless LAN > General screen, the extension channel enables the 
NBG-419N to get higher data throughput. This also lowers radio 
interference and traffic.
Aggregation
Select Enable to allow the grouping of several A-MSDUs (Aggregate 
MAC Service Data Units) into one large A-MPDU (Aggregate MAC Protocol 
Data Unit). This function allows faster data transfer rates.
Short GI
Select Enable to use Short GI (Guard Interval). The guard interval is the 
gap introduced between data transmission from users in order to reduce 
interference. Reducing the GI increases data transfer rates but also 
increases interference. Increasing the GI reduces data transfer rates but 
also reduces interference.
Enable Intra-
BSS Traffic
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between 
wireless clients or between a wireless client and a wired network client 
go through one access point (AP). 
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When 
Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless client A and B can access the wired 
network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, 
wireless client A and B can still access the wired network but cannot 
communicate with each other.
