Advanced Wireless, Transmit Power, Beacon Period, DTIM Interval, RTS Threshold, Fragmentation - problems

Page 38 highlights

Section 3 - Configuration Advanced Wireless Transmit Power: Sets the transmit power of the antennas. Note: Transmit power is regulated by international standard. Users are forbidden to change its maximum limit. Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. DTIM Interval: (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made. Fragmentation The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the Threshold: 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. WMM Enable: WMM is a Quality of Service (QoS) system for your wireless network. Enabling this feature will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients. Short GI: Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, this setting less reliable and may create higher data loss. IGMP Snooping: Select this checkbox to enable IGMP snooping. IGMP snooping is a layer 2 feature which enables the device to learn Multicast group membership based on IGMP messages passing through the built-in switch. Because the switch learns the IGMP messages and knows which clients are involved in the multicast group membership, it is able to forward multicast traffic only to the ports that requested for it (based on their membership). WLAN Partition: Select this checkbox to enable WLAN partition. If this feature is enabled, then there is no barrier between communication among wireless stations connecting to the Access Point. If this is disabled, wireless clients are not allowed to exchange data through the Access Point. D-Link DHP-W307AV User Manual 38
