RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,432. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value range between 256 and 2,432 are recommended.

Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.

DTIM Interval (Beacon Rate): (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 16384 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

(Note: You could modify Beacon Interval, RTS Threshold, Fragmentation, and DTIM Interval to fine-tune your wireless network, however, this takes many trial and error and we recommend keeping them in their default values.)

Authentication Type:

Open System: communicates the key across the network

Shared Key: devices must have identical WEP settings to communicate Both automatically adjusts to the Authentication mode of the wireless client All wireless devices must have the same Authentication Type. The default setting is Both.

Preamble: The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the Access Point and roaming Network Card. Please select the appropriate preamble type and click the Apply button to save the settings. (Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. All wireless devices in the same network need to have the same preamble setting.)

Basic Rate and Supported Rate: Select the desire bandwidth for the wireless device. The Basic Rate is for factory trouble shooting purpose and it will not affect the device's performance. Supported Rate is the true bandwidth of the device. When the wireless signal is strong, set it at 1-2-5.11-22(Mbps)to have the highest performance. When the signal is weak, select 1-2(Mbps)to reduce transmission error.

Antenna Selection: Select which antenna you will use to receive data. The default setting is Diversity (uses both antennas to receive data which help overcome multi-path distortion).

Click Apply if you have made any changes or additions.

Click Cancel to discard the changes.
