802.11n Protection: The 802.11n standards provide a protection method
so 802.11b/g and 802.11n devices can co-exist in the same network
without “speaking” at the same time.
Support 802.11n Client Only: Only stations that are configured in 802.11n
mode can associate.
Multicast Rate: Select the multicast transmission rate for the network.
The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of
your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds,
or you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback
will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router
and a wireless client. The default value is Auto.
Basic Rate: Select the basic transmission rate ability for the AP.
Fragmentation Threshold: Packets that are larger than this threshold are
fragmented into multiple packets. Try to increase the fragmentation
threshold if you encounter high packet error rates. Do not set the
threshold too low, since this can result in reduced networking
performance.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of
2347.Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reductions
are recommended. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only
minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a
data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347.
DTIM Interval: (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value
between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A
DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages.
Beacon Interval: A beacon is a packet of information that is sent from a
connected device to all other devices where it announces its availability
and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon)
before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in
milliseconds (ms). Default (100) is recommended.
