Preamble Type The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC
(Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication
between the router and wireless stations. Make sure to
select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high
network traffic areas should use the “Short Preamble”.
CRC is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors.
Broadcast SSID If this option is enabled, the router will automatically
transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular
interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to
dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled,
the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the
clients cannot directly discover the router and MUST be
configure with the SSID for accessing to the router. It is
used to protect your network from being accessed easily.
Relay Blocking When you enable this function, wireless clients will not be
able to directly access other wireless clients.
Protection This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to
enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and
802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the protection
mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little
lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
Aggregation This function is used to join multiple data packets for
transmission as a single unit to increase network
efficiency.
Short GI The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400ns
(short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns GI is
optional for transmit and receive. Enable this function
