Beacon Interval The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon in milliseconds. A beacon is a broadcast packet by Access
Point (AP) to synchronize wireless network. The default value is 100.
Protection Mode Protection is the mechanism to let 802.11 devices know when they
should communicate to another device. This is most important when
there is a mixed environment of both 802.11b and 802.11g clients.
This function boosts the interoperability of 802.11b and 802.11g
devices but will severely decrease performance.
