Beacon Interval is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit
data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected
transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
N Data Rate The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to
transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data
rate can be fixed.
Channel Bandwidth is the range of frequencies that will be used.
Preamble Type The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism.
This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and
802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the
throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is
transmitted.
TX Power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.
