RAXE500 DTIM Settings

I have RAXE500 Router and want to configure router's DTIM settings to different values (2, 3 etc) for testing.  Please share the steps to change the DTIM settings on this router.

I don't see any section called DTIM when I access router via http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm

    DTIM stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message. 

    Not a configurable value I have seen on a Netgear consumer grade router.

    Why do you want to do that?

     

    Maybe there are other ways of achieving what you want.

      I am performing certain tests on device side behavior when connected to routers at different DTIM intervals. By default routers come with DTIM set to 1.  I want to change it to 2 or 3 and perform tests on connected device side

        I remember seeing this on older generation routers from say 15+ years ago. I think its' mostly a automatic feature now that something isn't needed to be adjusted on home class routers anymore thus NG and others have removed that UI since so not supported as a UI feature anymore.
