Manage the Router
• Bacon Interval - Enter a value between 40 and 1000 to determine the duration
between beacon packets that are broadcasted by the router to synchronize the
wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds.
• RTS Threshold – Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size
of data transmission through the router. The default size is 2346. If the packet size
is greater than the preset threshold, the router sends Request of Send frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame, or else the
packet will be sent immediately.
• DTIM Interval - Enter a value between 1 and 15 to determine the interval of DTIM
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message). The default interval is 1, indicating the DTIM
interval is the same as Beacon Interval.
• Group Key Update Period - Enter the number of seconds between 30 and 86400, or
use the default value 0 that indicates no key interval to control the time interval for the
encryption key automatic renewal.
• WMM Feature - It is enabled by default and highly recommended, for the WMM function
guarantees the packets with high-priority messages being transmitted preferentially.
• Short GI Feature - It is enabled by default and highly recommended, for it will increase
the packet capacity by reducing the GI (Guard Interval) time.
• AP Isolation Feature - If you want to confine and restrict all wireless devices connected
to the network from interacting with each other, but still able to access the internet,
enable AP Isolation feature.
14. 13. 2. 2.4GHz/5GHz WDS
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Bridging feature allows you to extend the wireless
network coverage by bridging with an AP (access point) in local network. The access
point should also support WDS Bridging feature.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Advanced > System Tools > System Parameters. Focus on 2.4GHz/5GHz WDS
section.
3. Tick the checkbox of Enable WDS Bridging.
