74 CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER Advanced The Advanced screen allows you to configure detailed settings for your wireless connection. Please note that you should not change this settings unless you are an expert user. There are six parameters that you can configure: Figure 58 Wireless Advanced Setting Screen ■ Beacon Interval: this represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. ■ DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown mechanism used to inform your wireless clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. ■ Fragmentation Threshold: this is the maximum size for directed data packets transmitted. The use of fragmentation can increase the reliability of frame transmissions. Because of sending smaller frames, collisions are much less likely to occur. ■ RTS Threshold: RTS stands for Request to Send, this parameter controls what size data packet the low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet. ■ CTS Protection Mode: CTS stands for Clear to Send. CTS Protection Mode boosts the Router's ability to intercept 802.11b/ 802.11g transmissions. Conversely, CTS Protection Mode decreases performance. Leave this feature disabled unless you encounter severe communication difficulties between the Router and your wireless clients.
