Prolly just whatever works good for your setup and suits you
my main router, EA8500, 2.4 = 181 and 5GHz = 193
my two WDS bridges (one is broadcom 54G routers other is atheros N routers) that have been up for years
and only bridged to each other with only wired WAPs and other wired clients.
all their 'Beacon Interval' set at 983

how about each DTIM interval? _________________ シンゴ
The theory is that if you use a prime number, the statistical probability of ever overlapping with a neighbor, or your own beacon on the other wifi radio in your own router, never occurs. _________________ FORUM RULES

if on 2.4ghz i have 6+ devices but all devices only smart home devices, and <6 clients for 5ghz

As suggested above, pick some values and see how they work in your environment. The DSLREPORTS link helps answer your question too... _________________ FORUM RULES
The Beacon default is 100ms (I would use 101 to be different from neighbors). The DTIM default is 2 (I don't change it)
I use this formula that I made up as a reference...
75ms * (1+#VAPs) + 1 = Beacon Interval
On my 2.4Ghz Radio I have 2 VAPs with Beacon at 226
The 5Ghz Radio has 1 VAPs with Beacon at 151 _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone
