WEP privacy mechanism.
Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will
change its authentication type automatically to fulfill
client’s requirement.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of
packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.
If you set this value too low, it will result in bad
performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.
RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended. If a network packet is
smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The wireless
router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of
a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station
responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to
acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a
beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless
network. The range for the beacon period is between 20
and 1024 with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).
Data Rate The rate of data transmission should be set depending
on the speed of your wireless network. You should select
from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select
Auto to have the wireless router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the router and a wireless
client. The default setting is “Auto”.
