| transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular |
| intervals. 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 |
| configured with the SSID for access 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. |
Aggregation | This 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: 400 ns |
| (short) and 800 ns (long). Support of the 400 ns GI is |
| optional for transmit and receive. Enabling this function |
| will increase network efficiency. |
When you finish, click “Apply Changes.” You’ll see the following message displayed on Web browser.
Click “Continue” to save the settings made and go back to the Web management interface; click “Apply” to save the settings made and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.
