IAPP

If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast information of

 

associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help wireless station

 

roaming smoothly between access points. If you have more than one access

 

points in your wireless LAN and wireless stations have roaming requirements,

 

enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “IAPP” can provide better

 

security.

 

 

802.11g 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 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.
