Wireless Performance

If excessive data errors occur repeatedly, you may be able to correct the problem by adjusting the settings on this screen. The default settings usually work well, and any changes you make may degrade network performance. Consult your network administrator before making any changes.

Beacon interval: (Default 100) Beacons are packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless net- work. Higher numbers make performance more reliable; lower numbers increase speed. You can set a beacon interval between 1 and 1000 milliseconds. You should not change this setting unless directed to do so by a network administrator.

DTIM interval: (Default 3) Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the interval between notifica- tions sent by your router to client computers. Higher numbers generate more frequent notifications.

Basic Rates: (Default 1-2 Mbps) Choose a basic transfer rate compatible with the slowest wireless adapter connected to your wireless network.

TX Rates: (Default 1-2-5.5-11-22 Mbps) TX stands for Transmission Rate. Choose a transmission rate compatible with the slowest wireless adapter connected to your wireless network.

Preamble Type: (Default Short Preamble) This option defines the length of automatic data checking (CRC, or Cyclic Redundancy Check) for communication between the router and wireless adapters. You should not change this setting unless directed to do so by a network administrator.

Authentication: (Default Auto) Authentication can provide additional security. If you select Shared Key, the router will not be seen on the wireless network except to the other computers that share the same WEP Key (or Security Phrase) with MAC Addresses allowed access as specified in the Filter List. If you select Open System, only wireless computers with the same WEP Key (or Security Phrase) will be able to communicate on the wireless network, but the router will be visible to all devices on the network.
