WEP

. Using WEP encryption is not recommended, as it only offers

a trivial amount of protection for your wireless data. Unless your

clients do not support WPA encryption, it is recommended that you

select WPA2(AES) or WPA/WPA2 Mixed instead of WEP as they are

more secure.

WPS Setup

WPS (WiFi Protected Setup), easily connect devices

to a wireless router.

To use the wizard to add a wireless client to WPS-enabled

wireless router, the client must support WPS.

Check the user manual or the box of the wireless client to

confirm whether it supports the WPS.

WEP If the wireless client does not support WPS, you must

configure it manually.

Next

The easiest way to connect your wireless devices to the router is with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected

Setup). WPS was introduced with two methods of connecting: Push Button Control (PBC)

and Personal Identification Number (PIN). Using WPS-PIN is no longer recommended due

to security vulnerabilities and is disabled by default.

whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte

setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default

setting.

RTS Threshold (1-

2347):

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If inconsistent

data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.

Use the dropdown menu to specify whether the Router should

use the Short Preamble or Long Preamble type. The preamble type

defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for

communication between the router and roaming wireless adapters.
