Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

The Wireless Tab - Advanced Wireless Settings

This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance.

Advanced Wireless Settings

Preamble Type. The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the Router and the roaming wireless adapters. (High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.) Select the appropriate preamble type for your network. If you are not sure which setting to select, then keep the default setting, Long Preamble.

Authentication Type. The default is set to Auto, which allows Open System and Shared Key authentication. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not use a WEP key for authentication but can use WEP for data encryption. For Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for both authentication and data encryption. To only allow Open System authentication, select Open. To only allow Shared Key authentication, select Shared Key. In most cases, you should keep the default setting, Auto, because some clients cannot be configured for Shared Key.

CTS Protection Mode. CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function boosts the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease performance. Keep the default setting, Auto, so the Router can use this feature as needed, when the Wireless-G products are not able to transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic.

CTS Protection Type. CTS Protection Type specifies the type of traffic covered by the CTS Protection Mode. Select CTS-only or RTS-CTS from the drop-down menu. If you are not sure which setting to select, then keep the default setting, CTS-only.

cts (clear to send): a signal sent by a wireless device, signifying that it is ready to receive data.
