2.4.2 Advanced Settings
You can set advanced wireless LAN parameters of this router. The parameters include
Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, Preamble
Type
……
You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the
changes will have on this router.
Parameters
Default
Description
Authentication Type
There are two authentication types: "Open
System" and "Shared Key". When you select
"Open System", wireless stations can associate
with this wireless router without WEP encryption.
When you select "Shared Key", you should also
setup WEP key in the "Encryption" page and
wireless stations should use WEP encryption in
the authentication phase to associate with this
wireless router. If you select "Auto", the wireless
client can associate with this wireless router by
using any one of these two authentication types.
Fragment 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.

RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller the RTS
threshold, the wireless router will not use the
RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval
The interval of time that this wireless router
broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to
synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate
The
“
Data Rate
”
is the rate this access point
uses to transmit data packets. The access point
will use the highest possible selected
transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
Preamble Type
The
“
Long Preamble
”
can provide better
wireless LAN compatibility while the
“
Short
Preamble
”
can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
Broadcast ESSID
If you enable
“
Broadcast ESSID
”
, every wireless
station located within the coverage of this
access point can discover this access point
easily. If you are building a public wireless
network, enabling this feature is recommended.
Disabling
“
Broadcast ESSID
”
can provide better
security.
IAPP
If you enable
“
IAPP
”
, it will allow wireless station
roaming between IAPP enabled access points
within the same wireless LAN.
802.11g 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 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.
