5.13 Wireless (WI-FI)
Use the Advanced Wireless sub-menu for detailed configuration of radio
parameters for the 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN.
5.13.1 Advanced Wireless Settings
Transmit Power. Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100%
power (drop down menu: High). In some circumstances, however, there
might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By
reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from
reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless
area.
Beacon Period. Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to
synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value between
20 and 1000 milliseconds. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
RTS Threshold. When an excessive number of wireless packet
collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be improved by
using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake
protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and
wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS
Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes.
Fragmentation Threshold. Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF
interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This
setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless
router 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.
