DTIM Interval
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
When the wireless access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends
the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
Wireless Isolation
Enabling Wireless Isolation prevents associated wireless clients from communicating with each other.
WMM Enable
Enabling WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting multimedia content over a wireless
connection.
Short GI
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some
installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for
your installation.
Extra Wireless Protection
Extra protection for neighboring 11b wireless networks. Turn this option off to reduce the adverse effect of
legacy wireless networks on 802.11ng performance. This option is available only when 802.11 Mode is set to
an 11n Only option. (Refer to the Basic → Wireless
page.)
WDS Enable
When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly
communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot
be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the
WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are
configured with same channel number.
WDS AP MAC Address
Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP to create the
WDS link back to this AP. Enter a MAC address for each of the other APs that you want to connect with WDS.
