rules to allow wireless-equipped computers and other devices to communicate with a wireless
network.

• Access Point: Select Activated to allow wireless station to associate with the access
point.

• Transmit Power: Here you can specify the transmit power of Router. You can select
High, Medium or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is

recommended.

• Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.

• RTS/CTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction
of the default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset
RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends
Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases,
keep its default value of 2347.

• Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before
data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you
may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may r esult in poor network perfor mance. Only minor reduction of the default value
is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

• DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

• W
