Basic Settings
Mode
Allows you to set AP or WDS mode.
Band
Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can
also select B+G mode to allow 80211b and 802.11g clients at the same time.
Enable SSID #
Allows you to enable up to four SSIDs for this router.
SSID
This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the
devices in the same wireless LAN should have the same ESSID.
Channel
The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same
wireless LAN should use the same channel.

Advanced Settings
This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included
are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon
Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless
you know what effect the changes will have on the router.
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 a WEP key in the "Encryption" page.
After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that you want to
connect to the device are also setup with the same encryption key.
Fragment Threshold
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of a
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 then the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

Beacon Interval
is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit
data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected
transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
N Data Rate
The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to
transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data
rate can be fixed.
Channel Bandwidth
is the range of frequencies that will be used.
Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
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 a lot of frame-network that is
transmitted.
TX Power
can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.
