Beacon-Rate
What is the default beacon-rate of the subject router, and can it be changed?

Thanks for the information. While it does show a typical beacon interval for that router, it might still be applicable to my router.
Thanks again for your time, I'm going to try and contact Network technical support.

All routers, whether user adjustable or not, transmitt a beacon containing the router SSID and additional information at regular intervals they can vary from router to router, but are usually in the 100-200ms range. It's necessary for specific clients, that need to sleep between beacons to conserve power, to know when to wake-up to maintain connection.
