Parameter description
Used to set the interval at which this device sends Beacon frames.
Beacon frames are sent at the interval to announce the existence of a wireless
network. Generally, a smaller interval allows wireless clients to connect to this
device sooner, while a larger interval allows the wireless network to transmit data
quicker.
Threshold of a fragment.
Fragmenting is a process that divides a frame into several fragments, which are
transmitted and acknowledged separately. If the size of a frame exceeds this
threshold, the frame is fragmented.
In case of a high error rate, you can reduce the threshold to enable this device to
resend only the fragments that have not been sent successfully, so as to increase
the frame throughput.
In an environment with little interference, you can increase the threshold to
reduce the number of frames, so as to increase the frame throughput.
Frame length threshold for triggering the RTS/CTS mechanism. The unit is byte.
If a frame exceeds this threshold, the RTS/CTS mechanism is triggered to reduce
conflicts.
Set the RTS threshold based on the actual situation. An excessively small value
increases the RTS frame transmission frequency and bandwidth requirement. A
higher RTS frame transmission frequency enables a wireless network to recover
from conflicts quicker. For a wireless network with high user density, you can
reduce this threshold to reduce conflicts.
The RTS mechanism requires some network bandwidth. Therefore, it is triggered
only when frames exceed this threshold.
Countdown before this device transmits broadcast and multicast frames in its
cache. The unit is Beacon interval.
A countdown starts from this value. The AP transmits broadcast and multicast
frames in its cache only when the countdown reaches zero.
For example, if DTIM Interval is set to 1, this device transmits all cached frames at
one Beacon interval.
It specifies the minimum strength of received signals acceptable to this device. If
the strength of the signals transmitted by a wireless device is weaker than this
threshold, the wireless device cannot connect to this device.
A proper value facilitates wireless devices to connect to the AP with stronger signal
in case of multiple APs exist.
Select the option based on your actual situation.
−
Coverage-oriented: This mode broadens WiFi coverage of APs, and is usually
used in scenarios deployed with fewer APs, such as offices, warehouses, and
hospitals.
−
Capacity-oriented: This mode effectively decreases mutual interference
among APs, and is usually used in scenarios deployed with massive APs, such
as conferences, exhibition halls, banquet halls, stadiums, classrooms of
higher-education institutes, airports and so on.
Enable: It specifies that dual band wireless devices prefer the 5 GHz WiFi network
of the AP to connect.
