Long Range PtP
Note:
Long Range PtP is only available on certain devices. To check whether your
device supports this feature, refer to the actual web interface.
Long Rage PtP is only available when MAXtream function is enabled. With
this function enabled, it is allowed to specify a larger distance which can be
helpful in the following situations:
• The AP is connected to a single client or AP.
• The distance between the two devices exceeds the distance allowed by
the AP’s hardware specifications.
The distance is used to calculate the Acknowledge timeout (ACK timeout).
Long Range PtP allows the AP to get a larger ACK timeout and reduce
unnecessary retransmission in the situations above.
Beacon Interval
Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted
periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network
for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the
beacons sent by the device. Specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The default
value is 100.
RTS Threshold
Specify the RTS threshold for the device.
RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data
transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when
there are lots of large packets to be transmitted.
When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/
CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before
sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to
request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to
inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet
collisions can be avoided.
For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help
reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a
too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data
throughput.
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over
the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold,
the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented
into several packets.
Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured.
However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless
performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of
frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value
is 2346 bytes.
