Figure 5-17 5GHz Wireless Settings - Advanced

The page includes the following fields:

Object

Description

Guard Interval

Set the guard interval.

802.11n Protection Enable/disable 802.11n protection, which increases reliability but reduces

bandwidth (clients will send Request to Send (RTS) to access point, and

access point will broadcast Clear to Send (CTS), before a packet is sent from

client.)

DTIM Period

Set the DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) period value of the wireless

radio. The default value is 1.

RTS Threshold

Set the RTS threshold of the wireless radio. The default value is 2347.

Fragment

Threshold

Set the fragment threshold of the wireless radio.

The default value is 2346.

Multicast Rate

Set the transfer rate for multicast packets or use the “Auto” setting.

Tx Power

Set the power output of the wireless radio.

You may not require 100% output power. Setting a lower power output can

enhance security since potentially malicious/unknown users in distant areas

will not be able to access your signal.

Beacon Interval

Set the beacon interval of the wireless radio.

The default value is 100.

Station Idle

Timeout

Set the time for access point which the client has not transmitted any data

packets

Changing these settings can adversely affect the performance of your access point.

5.3.7 Security

The access point provides various security options (wireless data encryption). When data is encrypted,

information transmitted wirelessly cannot be read by anyone who does not know the correct encryption key.
