can cause wireless communication problems.
Field
Description
Band
This is the range of frequencies the gateway will use to communicate with
user’s wireless devices.
Channel
Drop-down menu that allows selection of specific channel.
54g
TM
Rate
This drop-down list lets user specify the wireless communication rate, which
can be
Auto
(uses the highest rate when possible, or else a lower rate) or a
fixed rate between 1 and 54 Mbps.
Multicast rate
This drop-down list lets user specify the wireless communication rate for
multicast packets, which are sent to more than one destination at a time.
The value can be
Auto
(uses the highest rate when possible, or else a
lower rate) or a fixed rate between 1 and 54 Mbps.
Basic rate
User has the option of supporting all rates listed in
Rate
above or using the
1-, 2-Mbps rates, which support only older 802.11b implementations.
Fragmentatio
n threshold
A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets will be
fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 connection, packets that are larger
the fragmentation threshold are split into smaller units suitable for the circuit
size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not
fragmented.
Enter a value between
256
and
2346
. If user experience a high packet error
rate, try to increase this value slightly. Setting the fragmentation threshold too
low may result in poor performance.
RTS
threshold
This is number of bytes in the packet size beyond which the gateway
invokes its RTS/CTS (request to send, clear to send) mechanism. Packets
larger than this threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism, while the
gateway transmits smaller packets without using RTS/CTS. The default
setting of
2347
, which is the maximum, disables the RTS threshold
mechanism.

DTIM interval
A delivery traffic indication message (DTIM), also known as a beacon, is a
countdown informing wireless clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the gateway has broadcast or
multicast messages for its clients, it sends its next DTIM message with this
DTIM interval value. The clients hear the beacons and awaken as needed
to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
Beacon
interval
The amount of time (in milliseconds) between beacon transmissions, each
of which identifies the presence of an access point. By default, wireless
clients passively scan all radio channels, listening for beacons coming from
access points. Before a client enters power-save mode, it needs the beacon
interval to determine when to wake up for the next beacon (and learn
whether the access point has any messages for it). User can enter any
value between
1
and
65535
, but the recommended range is
1 - 1000
.
XPress™
Technology
XPress™ Technology
is a feature in which two of our devices can
communicate with each other at twice the normal rate.
54g+ is a technology that achieves higher throughput with frame-bursting. With
54g+ enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput of
each network client) improves by up to 25% in 802.11g-only networks, and up
to 75% in mixed networks containing both 802.11g and 802.11b equipment.

7. To configure security features for the Wireless interface, please open Security
item from Wireless menu. This web page offers nine authentication protocols for user to
secure user’s data while connecting to networks. There are four selections including
Open, Shared, 802.1X,WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA-WPA2, Mixed
WPA-WPA2-PSK. Different item leads different web page settings. Please read the

following information carefully.
The wireless security page allows user to configure the security features of user’s
wireless network.
There are several security methods to choose f
rom, depending on user’s needs and the
capabilities of user’s wireless machines.
WEP open
and
WEP shared
WEP is an encryption scheme that is used to
protect user’s wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of
64-bit keys or 128-bit keys to pr
ovide access control to user’s network and
encryption security for every data transmission. To decode a data
transmission, each wireless client on the network must use an identical 64-bit
or 128-bit key. WEP is an older wireless encryption method that is not as hard
to break as the more-recent WPA.
802.1x
In 802.1x (also known as RADIUS), a separate machine called an
authentication server receives a user ID and password. It grants or denies
access based on whether the ID and password match any entries in its
account list. User can optionally enable WEP encryption with this option.
Because it requires a separate machine acting as the authentication server,
802.1x is most often used in business environments.
WPA
WPA is a more recent encryption method that addresses many of the
weaknesses in WEP. Any client capable of WPA encryption should use it
