Configuring the Advanced Wireless Settings

We recommend that the Advanced Wireless Settings should be modified only by an administrator

very familiar with the ramifications of changing the Wireless LAN parameters. If set incorrectly,

they can adversely affect the performance or connectivity of your wireless access point. The

default settings should be adequate in most situations. Following is a description of each of the

Wireless LAN Parameters.

• WMM Support. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature that

provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four

access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the

benefits of WMM QoS, both the application and the client running that application must be

WMM-enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not

require QoS, are assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than

voice and video.

The default setting is Enabled.

• RTS Threshold. The Request to Send Threshold packet size determines if the wireless access

point should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection)

mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission:

– With the CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual

packet as soon as it has waited for the silence period.
