Threshold:
Sets the transmit power of the antennas.
Note: Transmit power is regulated by international standard. Users are forbidden to change its maximum limit.
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
