RTS Threshold RTS threshold is used to decide the time interval
between every RTS (Request to Send) packets.
Using a smaller value will cause the wireless
router to send RTS packets more often, and all
wireless stations will be able to recover from
collision (two stations send the packet at the same
time, which will destroy transmitted data packet)
more quickly.
However, sending RTS packets too often will
reduce the performance of wireless network, and
you should only use a smaller value when there’re
a lot of wireless stations connected to this wireless
router. It’s safe to use default value (2347) when
there are less then 10 wireless clients.
When you wish to decrease the RTS threshold
value to improve network performance and
stability, please decrease ‘Fragment
Threshold’ value also.
Beacon Interval Beacon Interval is used to control the time interval
between every beacon packet. If you use a
smaller value, this wireless router will send the
beacon packet more often, and wireless clients
can found this wireless router quickly; If you use a
larger value, wireless clients will have to scan for
more times before it can find this wireless router.
By using a larger value, there will be lesser
beacon packets sent by this wireless router, and
the network performance will be better.
Data Rate Please select the wireless data rate from
dropdown list. You can select a fixed data rate and
all wireless clients must use this data rate to
communicate with wireless router.
It’s recommended to select ‘Auto’ and let
wireless client / router to decide the
communication speed by actual radio
reception.
