TX Power: Select percentage of transmitted power. (Default: Auto)

RTS Threshold: This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem,

“Hidden Note” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other and can not detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data collision when Adapters require transmission. (Default: OFF)

Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. (Default: OFF)

3-1-2. Authentication and Security Screen:
