- Radio1 (5G) is not applicable. 5.4. Data Rate Setting The fact is that low data rate transmissions consume more air time than high data rates. It may affect the system performance. By disabling low data rates, AP rules out some remote clients with poor signal strength and hence low link data rate, preventing them from consuming too much air time and leaves the air time for higher data rates transmissions. In this way, overall system performance can be improved. The most common way we use it is to disable low data rates (e.g., 1M, 2M) when the AP performance is reported poor. AP has two (2) configurable parameters about data rate setting; they are Data Rate and Multicast Data Rate. Data Rate stands for the data rate setting for unicast data packet; while Multicast Data Rate stands for the data rate setting for multicast data packet. 105 Dual-band 3x3 802.11 ac WiFi Access Point Configuration Manual Figure 109 Data Rate Setting Configure Data Rate 1. 2.4G Radio: Go to Configuration > Wireless > Radio0(2.4G) >

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) time According to the 802.11 standards, a Delivery Traffic Indication Map
(DTIM) period value is a number that determines how often a beacon frame includes a Delivery Traffic Indication Message, and this number is included in each beacon frame. The 802.11 standards define a power-
save mode for client devices. In power-save mode, a client device may choose to sleep for one or more beacon intervals waking for beacon frames that include DTIMs. When the DTIM period is 2, a client device in power-save mode will awaken to receive every other beacon frame. Upon entering power-save mode, a client device will transmit a notification to the access point, so that the access point will know how to handle unicast traffic destined for the client device.

In wireless networking, the hidden node problem or hidden terminal problem occurs when a node is visible from a wireless access point (AP), but not from other nodes communicating with that AP. This leads to difficulties in media access control sublayer. IEEE 802.11 uses 802.11 RTS/CTS acknowledgment and handshake packets to partly overcome the hidden node problem. Figure 113 Protection Mode Setting 1. 2.4G Interface: Go to Configuration > Wireless > Radio0 > Advanced
> Advanced Settings 5G Interface: Go to Configuration > Wireless > Radio1 > Advanced >
Advanced Settings 2. Select suitable mechanism on Protection Mode; options include:
None - no protect mechanism is used. It is the default setting. CTS-only - also known as CTS-to-Self; AP issues a CTS frame to itself before sending data. All clients will not transmit during the time. RTS-CTS - AP sends a RTS frame, waits for the clients CTS frame and then sends the data packet. It allow more robust operation, but at the expense of additional overheads. 3. Specify frame size in byte between 0 and 2347 bytes on RTS/CTS Threshold; 2346 is default setting. If a frame is smaller than the RTS/CTS threshold, it will be sent by the AP without modification. If a frame is larger than the RTS/CTS threshold, then two frames will be sent by the AP. The first frame is an RTS (request to send) frame. After the RTS frame is sent, the AP listens for the corresponding CTS from the target client. Upon reception of the CTS, the AP then sends the data frame. There are trade-offs when considering what value you should set for the RTS/CTS threshold. Smaller values will cause RTS to be sent more often, increasing overheads. However, the more often RTS packets are sent, the sooner the system can recover from collisions. It is recommended to use the default value or only minor reductions of the default setting. 4. Click Submit 5.

IGMP Snooping Dual-band 3x3 802.11 ac WiFi Access Point Configuration Manual This Series product acts as a Layer 2 device when it is configured as Switch mode. However, IGMP Snooping implementation on AP is a little bit different than that of standard Layer 2 Switch. Typically, IGMP Snooping allows a switch to only forward multicast traffic to the links that have at least one client joined the multicast group. Unlike ordinary IGMP Snooping implementation, this series converts multicast to unicast and delivers them to devices registered with the multicast group. When IGMP Snooping is turned on, multicast packets should be dropped at the WLAN exit if there is no client from the WLAN who has joined the corresponding multicast group.
