MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit

The maximum data size that can be transferred at a time through the Internet or other networks. You
can set a smaller MTU size to obtain successful communication, if you have difficulty transferring
data due to the fact that the maximum size is too large.

Network key

Data that is used for encrypting data in data communication. The personal computer uses the same
network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network
key as the other side of communication.

Network name (SSID: Service Set Identifier

When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft.
This grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In order to improve security, the network
key is set allowing no communication unless “Network name (SSID)” coincides with the network key.

a wireless client before allowing it to associate.
