WEP privacy mechanism.

 

 

 

Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will

 

 

 

change its authentication type automatically to fulfill

 

 

 

client’s requirement.

 

 

Fragmentation

Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of

 

 

Threshold

packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.

 

 

 

If you set this value too low, it will result in bad

 

 

 

performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.

 

 

RTS Threshold

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.

 

 

 

Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor

 

 

 

modifications are recommended. If a network packet is

 

 

 

smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the

 

 

 

RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The wireless

 

 

 

router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a

 

 

 

particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of

 

 

 

a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station

 

 

 

responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to

 

 

 

acknowledge the right to begin transmission.

 

 

Beacon Interval

The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a

 

 

 

beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless

 

 

 

network. The range for the beacon period is between 20

 

 

 

and 1024 with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).

 

 

Data Rate

The rate of data transmission should be set depending

 

 

 

on the speed of your wireless network. You should select

 

 

 

from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select

 

 

 

Auto to have the wireless 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. The default setting is “Auto”.
