This is the name of wireless router. You

NOTE: For Repeater Mode, this router will demodulate the received

modulate and amplify the signal again. The output power of this mode is
the same as that of WDS and normal AP mode.

Data Rate
Set the wireless data transfer rate to a
certain value. Since most of wireless

and pick a proper data transfer rate

it’s
not
necessary
to
change this value unless you know what
will happen after modification.

Broadcast ESSID
Decide
if
the
wireless

will
broadcast its own ESSID or not. You can
hide the ESSID of your wireless router
(set the option to ‘Disable’), so only
people those who know the ESSID of
your wireless router can get connected.
CTS Protect
Enabling this setting will reduce the
chance of radio signal collisions between
802.11b and 802.11g/n wireless access
points. It’s recommended to set this
option to ‘Auto’ or ‘Always’. However,
if you set to ‘None’, your wireless router
should be able to work fine, too.
WMM
It is short for Wi-Fi Multimedia, it will
enhance the data transfer performance of
multimedia contents when they’re being
transferred over wireless network. If you
don’t know what it is / not sure if you
need it, it’s safe to set this option to
‘Enable’,
however,
default
value
