Description

Authentication Type

There are two authentication types: "Open System"

 

and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System",

 

wireless stations can associate with this wireless

 

router without WEP encryption. When you select

 

"Shared Key", you should also setup WEP key in

 

the "Encryption" page and wireless stations should

 

use WEP encryption in the authentication phase to

 

associate with this wireless router. If you select

 

"Auto", the wireless client can associate with this

 

wireless router by using any one of these two

 

authentication types.

Fragment Threshold

"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size

 

of packet during the fragmentation of data to be

 

transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will

 

result in bad performance.

RTS Threshold

When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold,

 

the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS

 

mechanism to send this packet.

Beacon Interval

The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast

 

a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the

 

wireless network.
