Add a station MAC
Enter MAC addresses in the list. The device can perform the
access control over the clients whose MAC addresses are in
the list.
Click Advanced Settings to make detailed settings for
the Wireless. Advanced Setup includes items that are
not available from the Basic Settings page, such as
Beacon Interval, Control Tx Rates and Basic Data
Rates.
BG Protection Mode
Default value is Auto. You can select the other options
including On and Off. The BG protection technology is
CTS-To-Self. It will try to reserve the throughput for 11g
clients from 11b clients connecting to the device as AP mode.
Beacon Interval
Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to
synchronize the wireless network. The beacon interval is the
time interval between beacons sending by this unit in AP or
AP+WDS mode. The default and recommended beacon
interval is 100 milliseconds.
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)
This is the Delivery Traffic Indication Map. It is used to alert
the clients that multicast and broadcast packets buffered at
the AP will be transmitted immediately after the transmission
of this beacon frame. You can change the value from 1 to 255.
The AP will check the buffered data according to this value.
For example, selecting “1” means to check the buffered
data at every beacon.
Fragment Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as
one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication
is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference.
This function will help you to improve the network
performance.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the
radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the
packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas
where many client devices are associating with the device, or
in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only
the device and not each other. You can enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
TX Power
The default TX power is 100%. In case of shortening the
