Advanced Wireless
These options are for users that wish to chan\be the behavior of their 802.11n wire\fess radio from the standard settin\bs. We do not recommend 
chan\bin\b  these  settin\bs  from  the  factory  defau\fts.  Incorrect  settin\bs  may  impact  the  performance  of  your  wire\fess  radio.  The  defau\ft  settin\bs 
shou\fd provide the best wire\fess radio performance in most environments.
The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration:
Wireless Band: Here  the  user  can  view  the  wire\fess  frequency 
band bein\b confi\bured. In the case 2.4GHz.
Transmit P\fwer: This  option  sets  the  transmit  power  of  the 
antennas.
Beac\fn Peri\fd: Beacons  are  packets  sent  by  an  Access  Point  to 
synchronize  a  wire\fess  network.  Specify  a  va\fue. 
100 is the defau\ft se\uttin\b and is recommended.
RTS Thresh\fld: Here  the  user  can  enter  the  RTS  thresho\fd  va\fue 
used. This va\fue shou\fd remain at its defau\ft settin\b 
of 2346. If inconsistent data flow is a prob\fem, on\fy 
a minor modification shou\fd be made.
Fragmentati\fn: The  fra\bmentation  thresho\fd,  which  is  specified 
in  bytes,  determines  whether  packets  wi\f\f  be 
fra\bmented.  Packets  exceedin\b  the  2346  byte 
settin\b  wi\f\f  be  fra\bmented  before  transmission. 
2346 is the defau\ft s\uettin\b.
DTIM Interval:Here the user can enter the DTIM Interva\f va\fue. De\fivery Traffic Indication Messa\be (DTIM) is a countdown informin\b c\fients 
of the next window for \fistenin\b to broadcast and mu\fticas\ut messa\bes. The defau\ft settin\bs is\u 1.
WMM Enable: Check this box to enab\fe the WMM feature.
Sh\frt GI: Check  this  box  to  reduce  the  \buard  interva\f  time  therefore  increasin\b  the  data  capacity.  However,  it’s  \fess  re\fiab\fe  and  may

Wi-Fi Pr\ftected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simp\fified method for securin\b your wire\fess network durin\b the “Initia\f setup” as we\f\f as the “Add New 
Device” processes. The Wi-Fi A\f\fiance (WFA) has certified it across different products as we\f\f as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressin\b 
a button for the Push-Button Method or correct\fy enterin\b the 8-di\bit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use 
are quite beneficia\f, whi\fe the hi\bhest wire\fess Security settin\b of WPA2 is automatica\f\fy used.
The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration:

new PIN code. A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existin\b network or to create a new network. The defau\ft PIN 
may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can be \benerated. You can restore the defau\ft PIN at any time. On\fy the 
Administrator (“admin” account) can chan\be or reset the PIN. In the Wi-Fi Protected Setup section, the user can e\unab\fe the WPS feature of this router.

router.
Generate New  PIN:C\fick this button to create a random number that 
is  a  va\fid  PIN.  This  becomes  the  router’s  PIN.  You 
can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the 
re\bistrar.

to the settin\bs disp\fayed on this pa\be for a successfu\f connection. This 
option is for wire\fess c\fients that can’t use the WPS method to connect 
to this device.
