Section ³ - Conﬁguration

Set the transmit power of the antennas.

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100

is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346.

If inconsistent data ﬂow is a problem, only a minor

modiﬁcation should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified

in bytes, determines whether packets will be

fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting

will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the

default setting.

(Delivery Trafﬁc Indication Message) 3 is the default

setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the

next window for listening to broadcast and multicast

messages.

Enabling WLAN Partition prevents associated wireless clients from communicating with each other.

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless

clients.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity.

However, it’s less reliable and may

create higher data loss.

WISH Settings

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using

a wireless network by prioritizing the trafﬁc of different applications.

Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize

your trafﬁc.

Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many

common audio and video streams and prioritize them above

other trafﬁc. Such streams are frequently used by digital

media players.

Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video

streams generated by a Windows

®

Media Center PC and to

prioritize these above other trafﬁc. Such streams are used

by systems known as Windows

®

Media Extenders, such as

the Xbox 360.

When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically

attempt to prioritize trafﬁc streams that it doesn’t otherwise

recognize, based on the behavior that the streams exhibit.

This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer

characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving

interactive trafﬁc, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a

normal priority.

A WISH Rule identiﬁes a speciﬁc message ﬂow and assigns

a priority to that ﬂow. For most applications, the priority classiﬁers ensure the right priorities and speciﬁc WISH Rules are

not required.

WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a speciﬁc message ﬂow, the rule with the highest

priority will be used.

Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.

Locking the wireless security settings prevents the

settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected

Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be added to

the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. However, the

settings of the network will not change once this option

is checked.

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the

router to an existing network or to create a new network.

The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the

router. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated.

You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the

Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the

PIN.

Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.

Restore the default PIN of the router.

Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface

of the registrar.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simpliﬁed method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”

as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certiﬁed it across different products as well

as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering

the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method.

The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneﬁcial, while the

highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
