RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this
packet.
Beacon Interval
The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
DTIM Period
Set the DTIM period of wireless radio. Do not modify default
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 3.
Data Rate
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most
of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a
proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to
change this value unless you know what will happen after
modification.
N Data Rate
Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients.
Channel Width
Set channel width of wireless radio. Do not modify default value
if you don’t know what it is, default setting is ‘Auto 20/40 MHz’.
Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better
wireless LAN performance.
Broadcast ESSID
Decide if the wireless router will broadcast its own ESSID or not.
You can hide the ESSID of your wireless router by selecting
“Disable”
CTS Protect
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between
802.11b and 802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the
protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a
little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
Tx Power
You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless you are
using this wireless router in a really big space, you may not have
to set output power to 100%. This will enhance security
(malicious / unknown users in distance will not be able to reach
your wireless router).
WMM
The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data transfer
performance of multimedia contents when they are being
transferred over wireless network. The default value is “Disable”.
