Understanding Beacon Intervals

The access point transmits beacon frames at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. By default, the access point transmits a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (10 beacon frames per second). You can specify a different interval from 20 to 2000 milliseconds.
