ASUS Wireless Dual-band Card

Wireless Network Key (WEP) - This option becomes configurable when you

select WEP in the Data encryption field. 64-bit WEP key uses 5 ASCII characters

(10 hexadecimal digits). 128-bit WEP key uses 13 ASCII (26 hexadecimal digits).

Key Format - Allows you to select the key format.

Manual Assignment (WPA and WPA2)- Allows you to assign WEP Keys

manually.

Key Length - Allows you to select the key length. For 64bits encryption, each

key consists of 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. For 128bits

Keys as the default key.

Configuration - Advanced

This Advanced page is intended for experienced

users to set up additional parameters for the

WLAN card. We recommend that you keep

the default values.
RTS Threshold (0-2347) - The Request to

Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) function is

used to minimize collisions among wireless

stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router

refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed.

Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347)

is recommended.
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.
Preamble Mode - Select the preamble mode. The default value is Auto.
