router so wireless clients can identity this router

wireless devices who wish to communicate with

each other must use the same channel number.

It’s highly recommended to select a channel

number which is not taken by other access points,

or the wireless network performance will become

poor. To know which channels are taken by other

access points, you can use ‘Site Survey’ function

(

See chapter 2-7-5)

to discover which channel

numbers were taken already.

Authentication Type

Select the wireless authentication type: Open

system, Shared Key, or Auto. The wireless client

must use the same authentication type or they

won’t be able to connect to this router. If you don’t

know which one you should use, select ‘Auto’.

Fragment Threshold

Fragment threshold is used to control the size of

the maximum size of every network packet. When

radio reception is good and there’s no or very few

radio interference, it’s suggested to use a larger

value to improve the network performance; if

there’s a lot of radio interference or the radio

reception is bad, you can use a smaller value to

reduce the time wasted on packet re-transmission.

You can use default value (2346). If you found

there’re some communication problems, you

can try a smaller value and see if this will

improve network performance and stability.
