Chapter 5  3. Choose the 2.4Ghz or 5GHz of the wireless network. • Beacon Interval - Enter a time interval between 40 and 1000 in milliseconds to determine the duration between beacon packets that are transmitted periodically by the device to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds. • DTIM - This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). You can specify the value between 1 and 15 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Period is the same as Beacon Interval. • RTS Threshold - Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size of data transmitted through the network. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold size is 2346. If the packet size is greater than the preset threshold, the device sends Request to Send frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame, or else the packet will be sent immediately. • Fragmentation Threshold - Specify the maximum packet size (in bytes) transmitted through the network. If a packet size exceeds the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into multiple packets. Note that setting the fragmentation threshold too low may result in poor network performance because of excessive packets. The default and recommended setting is 2346 bytes. • AP Isolation - Select this checkbox to enable the AP Isolation feature that allows you to confine and restrict all wireless devices on your network from interacting with each other, but still able to access the Internet. AP isolation is disabled by default. • Short GI - This function is enabled by default and recommended to increase the data capacity by reducing the Guard Interval (GI) time. 31
