Method #3
Use this method if your client device asks for t
he Router’s PIN number.
1
Enter the PIN number that appears on your screen. (It is also listed on the Wi-Fi
Protected Setup label on the bottom of the Router.)
Note
: This is a unique number. Do not use the number that appears in the
example above.
2
After the client device has been configured, click
OK
. Then refer back to your
client device or its documentation for further instructions.
At the bottom of the screen, status information for your wireless security is
displayed:
Wi-Fi Protected Setup Simple-Config-State
—
The status of the Wi-Fi Protected
Setup feature is displayed. The default is
“
Not configured.
”
After the Router has
been configured, th
e status changes to “Configured
.
”
Network Name (SSID)
—
The name of the wireless network is displayed.
Security
—
The security method of the wireless network is displayed.
Encryption
—
The encryption method, such as TKIP or AES, is displayed.
Passphrase
—
The passphrase for the wireless security method is displayed. It
acts like a password for access to the wireless network. (For WPA security
methods, the passphrase is also known as a WPA shared key.)
Note:
If you have client devices that do not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note
the wireless settings, and then manually configure those client devices.

Advanced Settings
Use this
screen to set up the Gateway’s advanced wireless settings, which apply to
all of the Gateway’s wireless networks. These settings should only be adjusted by an
expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance.

Basic Rate
—
The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a
series of rates at which the Gateway can transmit. The Gateway will advertise its
Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates
will be used. The Gateway will also advertise that it will automatically select the best
rate for transmission. Select the appropriate option:
Default
, for transmission at all standard wireless rates
1-2Mbps
, for use with older wireless technology
All
, for transmission at all wireless rates
Wi-Fi Alt
, the basic rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 11, 12, and 24 Mbps; supported rates are
9, 18, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps. If you are not sure which rate to select, keep the
default,
Default
.

CTS Protection Mode
—
CTS (Clear-To-
Send) Protection Mode’s default is
Disabled
.
Select
Auto
if you want the device to automatically use CTS Protection Mode when
your Wireless-G products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to
transmit to the device in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function
boosts the device’s ability to catch all Wireless
-G transmissions but will severely
decrease performance.
Control TX Rate
—
The Control TX Rate should be set depending on the speed of
your wireless network. Select from a range of transmission speeds, or keep the
default,
Auto
. When the Auto setting is selected, the Gateway automatically uses the
fastest possible data rate and enables the Auto-Fallback feature, which negotiates the
best possible connection speed between the Gateway and a wireless device.
Wireless Afterburner
—
To improve wireless performance when the Gateway is used
with devices that support SpeedBooster, select
Enable
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Disable
.
Beacon Interval
—
Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon
Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet
broadcast by the Gateway to synchronize the wireless network(s). The default value
is
100
.
DTIM Interval
—
This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages. When the Gateway has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for
associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear
the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The
default value is
1
.
Fragmentation Threshold
—
This value specifies the maximum size for a packet
before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet
error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the
Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only
minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should
remain at its default value of
2346
.
RTS Threshold
—
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
reduction of the default,
2346
, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than
the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The
Gateway 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. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of
2346
.

WMM Support
—
The Gateway supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) for Quality of
Service (QoS). When WMM Support is enabled, it provides four priority queues for
different types of traffic. It automatically maps the incoming packets to the
appropriate queues based on QoS settings (in the IP or layer 2 header). WMM
provides the capability to prioritize traffic in your environment. If you have other
devices on your network that support WMM, select
Enabl
e. Otherwise, keep the
default,
Disable
.
Auto Power Save Delivery
—
Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(UAPSD) is a special power-saving mode to achieve end-to-end QoS. This option is
available if you enabled WMM Support. To use the power save feature, select
Auto
Power save Delivery
.
