Authentication Type default is set to “Auto”.

Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to ac

cept the randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key is used

for a short time only. Then a new key is generated and agreed upon.

is both the sender and the recipient share a secret key.

1 Fragment Threshold

This value indicates how much of the Access Point’s resources are devoted to

recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If

you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can

increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance. Only minor

modifications of this value are recommended. The setting range is 256 ~ 2346.

1 RTS Threshold

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter

inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. The setting range

is 0 ~ 2347.
