Utilities .3

Hide SSID - Selecting Yes will hide your AP from those clients that query AP by broadcast packets, so only clients that are aware of the SSID of the AP can connect to it.

Set AP Isolated? - Select Yes to prevent wireless clients from communicating with each other.

Data Rate - Select the transmission rate. We recommend selecting Auto to maximise performance.

Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients must support.

Fragmentation Threshold (256~2346) – Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
