The AP Mode Tab
Configuring the Wireless-N Access Point
• DTIM Interval—This value indicates how often the Access Point sends out a Delivery
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more efficient networking,
while preventing your PC from dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings
allow your PC to enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions. The default is 1 ms.
• RTS Threshold—This setting determines how large a packet can be before the Access
Point coordinates transmission and reception to ensure efficient communication. This
value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
• Fragmentation Threshold—Enter the preferred setting between 256 and 2346.
Normally, this can be left at the default value.
Load Balancing
• Load Balancing—If Enabled, this feature can spread work between two or more
devices to get optimal resource utilization, throughput, or response time.
• Utilization Threshold—Enter the desired utilization value for the SSID.
• Current Utilization—This displays the current value of the utilization.
Change these settings as described here and click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click
Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Help information is displayed on the right-hand side
of the screen, and click More for additional details.
The AP Mode Tab
On this screen you can configure the AP mode settings for the Wireless Access Point. There are
five options for you to choose from.
MAC Address
Access Point
You can select this option to let the device operate as a normal Access Point.
• Allow Wireless Signal to be repeated by a repeater—If selected, the device will act as
a repeater for another Access Point. Provide the MAC addresses of the other APs in the
fields.
Wireless WDS Repeater
This option will let APs communicate with each other and with wireless stations.
• Remote Access Point’s MAC Address—You can either enter the MAC address directly,
or, if the other AP is on-line, you can click the Site Survey button and select from a list of
available APs.
