Wireless - Advanced
The Wireless - Advanced screen lets you configure advanced features of the
wireless LAN network:
AP Isolation – If you select enable, then each of your wireless clients will not
be able to communicate with each other.
Band – The default setting is 2.4GHz - 802.11g
Channel – 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interference from other
devices. If you are experiencing interference with another 2.4 Ghz device such
as a baby monitor, security alarm, or cordless phone, then change the channel
on your router.
Multicast Rate – The rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of
recipients.
Basic Rate – The set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable
of using to receive frames from a wireless medium.
Fragmentation Threshold – Used to fragment packets which help improve
performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference.
RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold) – Determines the packet size of
a transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.
DTIM Interval – Sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode.
Beacon Interval – A packet of information that is sent from a connected device
to all other devices where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon
interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon
again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds (ms).
