Description
Enter the size of the Request to Send (RTS) threshold packet.
The RTS threshold is related to the transmission mechanism
(CSMA/CA or CSMA/CD) for the packets. If the packet size is equal to
or less than this threshold, the data frame is transmitted immediately; if
the packet size is larger than the specified value, the transmitting
station must send an RTS threshold packet to the receiving station, and
must wait for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS)
packet before sending the actual packet data.
Enter the time interval for each beacon transmission that allows the
access point to synchronize the WiFi network.
Enter the maximum length of aggregated MAC protocol data unit
(AMPDU) packets.
Larger aggregation lengths could lead to better network performance.
Aggregation is a mechanism used to achieve higher throughput.
The default setting depends on the selection from the Wireless Mode
menu:
• If the selection from the Wireless Mode menu is 802.11ng or
802.11na, the default setting is 65535.
• If the selection from the Wireless Mode menu is 802.11na/ac, the
default setting is 1048575.
Select the enable radio button to allow the aggregation of several MAC
frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. Enabled
is the default setting.
Enabling AMPDU could lead to better network performance.
Select the disable radio button to disable this option.
Select the enable radio button to enable the reduced interframe space
(RIFS) option to allow transmission of successive frames at different
transmit powers.
Enabling RIFS could lead to better network performance. Select the
disable radio button to disable this option. Disabled is the default
setting.
Enter the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) or the data beacon
rate that you want to use.
The message period of the beacon delivery traffic indication is set in
multiples of beacon intervals.
Select one of the following radio buttons to specify the preamble type:
• Auto. Automatically handles both long and short preambles.
A short transmit preamble provides better performance. Auto is the
default setting.
• Long. Enables a long transmit preamble to provide a more reliable
connection or a slightly longer range.
