1) The response message from a DHCP server typically contains a number of configuration parameters (DHCP options) for the router. The DHCP options include IP network information, and also the vendor-specific options. In some cases, the router is implemented to perform user-defined operations (as shown below). You can implement your own treatment of all such options. If the router is functioning as a DHCP client, it must identify itself in option 61 (client-identifier) in every DHCP message. DUID/IAID is portion of option 61. Option 60 Vendor ID: The option code 60 used to identify Vendor class. Option 61 IAID: IAID (Identity Association ID) assigns an Identity Association ID to individual interfaces. In cases where the device is functioning with a single DHCP client identity, it must use value 1 for IAID for all DHCP interactions. In cases where the device is functioning with multiple DHCP client identities, the values of IAID have to start at 1 for the first identity and be incremented for each subsequent identity. For example, the device may use IAID value 1 for the first physical interface and value 2 for the second. Alternatively, the device may use IAID value 1 for the virtual circuit corresponding to the first connection object in the data model and value 2 for the second connection object in the data model. Option 61 DUID: Specifies the name of the interface whose link-layer address the server is to use as its DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier). You must enter a value for this parameter or the server will not start. When the server starts, the DUID is written to the system log. 22 TD-W8960N 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide Option 125: The option 125 allows DHCP server to be pre-configured with policy for handling classes of devices in a certain way without requiring DHCP server to be able to parse the unique format used in client-identifier option.

Bandwidth: Select the Bandwidth you want to use from the drop-down List. If bigger bandwidth is selected, device could transmit and receive data with higher speed. 71 TD-W8960N 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346. RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. This mechanism can provide you a quiet communication channel by notifying other stations not to send packet for a period of time. In most cases, keep its default value of 2347. DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The countdown unit is measured by the amounts of beacon frames received. When the router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The beacons are the packets sent by the modem router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100. Transmit Power: This option will allow you to configure the wireless transmit power. High transmit power will extend the wireless signal range of the device and make the signal transmit more legible. Low transmit power with the smaller wireless signal range that will decrease the probability of interrupt by other Wi-Fi device. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia): This function can guarantee the packets with high-priority messages being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended. 4.6.7 Station info Choose WirelessStation Info, you will see the screen of Wireless--Authenticated Stations setting shown as below.
