Technical Note: How to tweak ACK timeout on FortiAP

[MartinI_FTNT]

Description

This article shows how to tweak the ACK timeout value on the FortiAP.

Solution

By default the ACK timeout is modified by max-distance option under AP profile. On long distance connections, typically point-to-point connections, it can be useful to set this parameter manually.

This can be done via the FortiAP CLI.

To get current ACK timeout on radio-1:

# iwpriv wifi0 get_acktimeout

To set ACK timeout on radio-1:

Iwpriv wifi- acktimeout 120
