WLAN Utility Tool for Win XP
Data Encryption: Selecting “None” disables
WEP data encryption. Selecting WEP
enables WEP data encryption.
WEP: Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal digits for a 64-bit key. Enter 13
ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for
a 128-bit key.
WEP Key Index: Select which network key
index is used for encrypting outbound data
and/or authenticating clients.
54g Mode: Select the mode to 54g Auto for
the widest compatibility. Select the mode to
54g Performance for the fastest perfor-
mance among 54g certified equipment. Set
the mode to 54g LRS if you are experiencing
difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
Protection: In Auto mode the router will use
RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn
protection off to maximize 802.11g through-
put under most conditions.
Rate: The default setting is “Auto”. The range
is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data
transmission should be set depending on the
speed of your wireless network. You can
select from one transmission speed, or keep
the default setting, “Auto”, to have the router
automatically use the fastest possible data
rate.
Basic Rateset: Select the basic rate that
wireless clients must support.
