Advanced Wireless

AP Isolation  This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not

with each other. To use this function, select Enabled. AP Isolation is disabled by default.

Authentication Type  The Authentication Type setting is available if the Security Mode is RADIUS or WEP. The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to only use Shared Key authentication.

Basic Rate  The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router can transmit. (The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting.) The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will automatically select the best rate for transmission. The default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit at all standard wireless rates (1-2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, and 24Mbps). Select 1-2Mbpsfor use with older wireless technology. Select All, when the Router can transmit at all wireless rates.

Transmission Rate  The Transmission setting is available if the Network Mode is BG-Mixed, Wireless-G Only, or Wireless-B Only.The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. Select from a range of transmission speeds, or keep the default, Auto, to have the Router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a wireless client.

N Transmission Rate  The N Transmission setting is available if the Network Mode is Mixed or Wireless-N Only. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your Wireless-N networking. Select from a range of transmission speeds, or keep the default, Auto, to have the Router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto‑Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a wireless client.

CTS Protection Mode  The Router automatically uses CTS (Clear-To-Send)ProtectionModewhenyourWireless-Nand Wireless-G devices are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This option boosts the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-N and Wireless-G transmissions but severely decreases performance. To use this option, keep the default, Auto. To disable this option, select Disabled.

Beacon Interval  Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the
