Advanced Settings

This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included

are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon

Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless

you know what effect the changes will have on the router.

Authentication Type

There are two authentication types: "Open System"

and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can

associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption. When you

select "Shared Key", you should also setup a WEP key in the "Encryption"

page. After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that you

want to connect to the device are also setup with the same encryption

key.

Fragment Threshold

"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size

of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set

this value too low, it will result in bad performance.

RTS Threshold

When the packet size is smaller then the RTS threshold,

the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this

packet.

Beacon Interval

is the interval of time that this wireless router

broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless

network.
