Note:

If you enable the function and select the “Allow the stations specified by any enabled entries

in the list to access” for Filtering Rules, and there are not any enabled entries in the list, thus,

no wireless stations can access the device.

4.7.4 Wireless Advanced

Selecting Wireless > Wireless Advanced will allow you to do some advanced settings for the

device in the following screen shown in Figure 4-22. As the configuration for each operation mode

is almost the same, we take Access Point mode for example here.

¾ Beacon Interval - Specifies a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the

packets sent by the device to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value

determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.

¾ RTS Threshold - Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is larger

than the specified RTS Threshold size, the device will send RTS frames to a particular

receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.

¾ Fragmentation Threshold - This value is the maximum size determining whether packets

will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network

performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.

¾ DTIM Interval - Determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).

You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which

indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

¾ Enable WMM - WMM function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages being

transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended enabled.

¾ Enable Short GI - This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by

reducing the guard interval time.

¾ Enable AP Isolation - Isolates all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations

cannot access each other through WLAN. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is

enabled.
