Wireless-G Media Storage Link Router with SpeedBooster
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 value,
2347
, is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The 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. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value
of
2347
.
AP Isolation
. This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network from each other. Wireless
devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not with each other. To use this function, select
On
. AP
Isolation is
Off
by default.
SecureEasySetup
. This feature is a convenient way to set up WPA security. If you want to use this feature, keep
the default,
Enable
. If you want to disable this feature, select
Disable
.

The Security Tab - Firewall
Use this screen to enable or disable the Router’s firewall and various filters.
Firewall
Firewall Protection
. This feature employs Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) for a more detailed review of data
packets entering your network environment. This feature is enabled by default. Select
Disabled
to disable this
feature.
Block WAN Requests
Block Anonymous Requests
. Check the box to enable this feature, so you can protect your network from being
“pinged,” or detected, by other Internet users. This also reinforces your network security by hiding your network
ports. Both functions of the Block Anonymous Requests feature make it more difficult for outside users to work
their way into your network. This feature is enabled by default. Uncheck the box to allow anonymous Internet
requests.
Filter Multicast
. Multicasting allows for multiple transmissions to specific recipients at the same time. If
multicasting is permitted, then the Router will allow IP multicast packets to be forwarded to the appropriate
computers. Check the box to filter multicasting, or uncheck the box to disable this feature.
Filter Internet NAT Redirection
. This feature uses port forwarding to block access to local servers from local
networked computers. Check the box to filter Internet NAT redirection, or uncheck the box to disable this feature.
Filter IDENT (Port 113)
. This feature keeps port 113 from being scanned by devices outside of your local
network. Check the box to filter port 113, or uncheck the box to disable this feature.
