Advanced:
Use the Advanced Setup page to make detailed settings for the Wireless. Advanced Setup
includes items that are not available from the Basic Setup page, such as Beacon Interval, etc
Beacon Interval
Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify
a Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
DTIM
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast
messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless
clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The
default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255.
