Channel Number
It is the radio channel used by the wireless LAN. All
devices in the same wireless LAN should use the same
channel. Please select the country you are located and
designate a channel that the router will use. If you want
to let the router automatically to find an available channel
with the highest signal strength, please select “Auto”.
Radio Power (mW)
Set the maximum output power of the router. The higher
output power, the wider coverage range.
Associated Clients
Click “Show Active Clients” button and you can see the
wireless clients connected to the router.
When you finish, click ‘Apply Changes’. You’ll see the following message
displayed on web browser:
Press ‘Continue’ to save the settings made and back to web management
interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
5.2.4.2. Advanced Settings
This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN.
These setting shall not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for
the changes you made on your router.

Parameter
Description
Authentication Type
There are three authentication types: "Open System",
"Shared Key" and "Auto".
Open System: Open System authentication is not
required to be successful while a client may decline to
authenticate with any particular other client.
Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP
option is implemented. Shared Key authentication
supports authentication of clients as either a member of
those who know a shared secret key or a member of
those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key
authentication accomplishes this without the need to
transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the

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”.

Preamble Type
The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC
(Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication
between the router and wireless stations. Make sure to
select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high
network traffic areas should use the “Short Preamble”.
CRC is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors.
Broadcast SSID
If this option is enabled, the router will automatically
transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular
interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to
dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled,
the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the
clients cannot directly discover the router
and MUST be
configure with the SSID for accessing to the router. It is
used to protect your network from being accessed easily.
Relay Blocking
When you enable this function, wireless clients will not be
able to directly access other wireless clients.
Protection
This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to
enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and
802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the protection
mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little
lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
Aggregation
This function is used to join multiple data packets for
transmission as a single unit to increase network
efficiency.
Short GI
The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400ns
(short) and 800ns (long).
Support of the 400ns GI is
optional for transmit and receive.

will increase network efficiency.
When you finish, click ‘Apply Changes’. You’ll see the following message
displayed on web browser:
Press ‘Continue’ to save the settings made and back to web management
interface; press ‘Apply’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
5.2.4.3. Security
This router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP,
IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with
RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from
illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security
function.
