The DTIM is the interval between two synchronous frames with
broadcast information. If you set the value to 2, the access point
will save all multicast frames for the BSS and forward them after
every second beacon. Having smaller DTIM intervals delivers
multicast frames in a more timely manner, causing stations in
Power Save mode to wake up more often and drain power faster.
Having higher DTIM values, though, delays the transmission of
multicast frames.
(Default: 1)
Transmit Threshold
Fragment Length (256-2346): The “Fragment Length” can be set
between 256 and 2,346. If the packet size is smaller than the preset
Fragment size, the packet will not be segmented.
Fragmentation of the PDUs can increase the reliability of
transmission because it increases the probability of a successful
transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant
interference present or collisions due to high network utilization,
try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This will
enable the retransmission of smaller frames much faster. However,
it is more efficient to set the fragment size larger if very little or no
interference is present because it requires overhead to send
multiple frames. (Default: 2346)
