fragments before transmission. When the error rate is relatively high, you can lower the
fragment threshold. In this way, if transmission failure occurs, only packets that are not sent
successfully needs re-sending, which will improve the transmission throughput. With no
interference, you can improve the fragment threshold to reduce times to acknowledge frames,
also improving the transmission throughput.
RTS Threshold: Specify a valid value between 1 and 2347. The default is 2347. If a packet
exceeds the preset value, RTS/CTS scheme will be used to reduce collisions. Set it to a
smaller value provided that there are distant clients and interference. If the RTS threshold
value is relatively small, the wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access
with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted
immediately after the silence period. The faster the frame is sent, the faster the wireless
network will recover from collisions. As the collision detection mechanism will occupy some
bandwidths, when the packet size is less than the RTS threshold, it is not advisable to enable
this mechanism.
DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a countdown
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
When such packets arrive in the router's buffer, the router will send DTIM (delivery traffic
indication message) and DTIM interval to alert clients of the receiving packets. Specify a
valid value between 1 and 255. The default is 1. Fox example, when the DTIM is 1, it means
that the AP will send all cached packets every other Beacon interval.
Receive Signal Strength: Configure signal strength for connected clients. When the wireless
client’s signal strength is lower than the setting value, the wireless client will not be allowed
to connect to the AP so that the wireless client can connect to a stronger WiFi.
TX Power: Configure wireless transmission power. You can change the value (8~18)
according to your actual network environment. The higher the TX power is, the wider the
AP’s WiFi coverage will be. However, reducing the TX power to some extent will be helpful
for your wireless performance and network security.
Power Lockout: Once this option is enabled, you can’t modify power manually.
Preamble: Mainly used for preamble synchronization. There are two types of preambles:
