Section 6 - Wireless Settings Advanced Settings Path: Wireless > Advanced > Advanced Settings You can modify the 802.11 communication parameters in this page. Generally, the default settings are appropriate for most networks. 1. Click Wireless > Advanced > Advanced Settings. 2. Complete the fields in the table below and click Save. Field Description Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. The default value is 100. DTIM Interval (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 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 2432. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made. Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. Preamble Mode Select either Long or Short. The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the Access Point and roaming wireless adapters. High network traffic areas should use Short preamble type. Protection Mode Select either None or CTS-to-Self Protection. Select the CTS-to-Self Protection to enable CTS-to-Self protection mechanism, which is used to minimize collisions among stations in a mixed 802.11b & g environment. The default selection is None.
