1. Go to Wireless Settings > Advanced Wireless Setting. 2. Select the band frequency . 3. Configure the following parameters. Beacon Interval Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. You can specify a value between 40 and 100ms. The default is 100ms. DTIM Period The DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the EAP device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this EAP device should check for buffered data still on the EAP device awaiting pickup. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating clients check for buffered data on the EAP device at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep it by default. RTS Threshold RTS (Request to Send) can ensure efficient data transmission. When RTS is activated, the client will send a RTS packet to EAP to inform that it will send data before it send packets. After receiving the RTS packet, the EAP notices other clients in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data and informs the requesting client to send data, thus avoiding the conflict of packet. If the size of packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS mechanism will be activated. If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets are sent more frequently and heip the network recover from interference or collisions that might occur on a busy network. However, it also consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the packet. We recommend you keep it by default. The recommended and default value is 2347. Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. 31

.
3. Configure the following parameters.
Beacon Interval
Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP device to announce the presence of
a wireless network for the clients.
Beacon Interval
value determines the time interval
of the beacons sent by the device.
You can specify a value between 40 and 100ms. The default is 100ms.
DTIM Period
The DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is contained in some Beacon frames.
It indicates whether the EAP device has buffered data for client devices. The
DTIM
Period
indicates how often the clients served by this EAP device should check for
buffered data still on the EAP device awaiting pickup.
You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1,
indicating clients check for buffered data on the EAP device at every beacon. An
excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we
recommend you keep it by default.
RTS Threshold
RTS (Request to Send) can ensure efficient data transmission. When RTS is activated,
the client will send a RTS packet to EAP to inform that it will send data before it send
packets. After receiving the RTS packet, the EAP notices other clients in the same
wireless network to delay their transmitting of data and informs the requesting client
to send data, thus avoiding the conflict of packet. If the size of packet is larger than
the
RTS Threshold
, the RTS mechanism will be activated.
If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets are sent more frequently and heip
the network recover from interference or collisions that might occur on a busy
network. However, it also consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput
of the packet. We recommend you keep it by default. The recommended and default
value is 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the
network. If a packet exceeds the
Fragmentation Threshold
, the fragmentation
function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets.
Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However,
too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by
the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and
increased message
traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.
