Device Configuration>Wireless
•SSID: The Service Set (network) Identifier of your wireless network.
•Channel: Allows you to select a channel. 6 is the default setting.
•SSID Broadcast: Allows you to enable or disable the broadcasting of the SSID to network clients.
•Super G: Super G is a group of performance enhancement features that increase end user application throughput in an 802.11g network. Super G is backwards compatible with standard 802.11g devices. For ideal performance, all wireless devices on the network should be Super G capable. The modes are listed below:
•Radio Wave: Enable or disable the wireless functionality of the selected device(s).
•Data Rate: A pulldown menu to select the maximum wireless signal rate for the selected devices(s).
•Beacon Interval (20~1000): Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a network. Specify the beacon value for the selected device(s) here. The default value of 100 is recommended.
•DTIM (1~255): DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a countdown informing clients of the next listening window for broadcast and multicast messages.
•Fragment Length (256~2346): This sets the fragmentation threshold (specified in bytes). Packets exceeding the value set here will be fragmented. The default is 2346.
•RTS Length (256~2346): The RTS value should not be changed unless you encounter inconsistent data flow. The default value is 2346.
•Tx Power: A pulldown menu for selecting the transmit power of the selected device(s).
•Auto Channel Scan: Enable to scan for the least populated channel.
