Mixed WPA2 / WPA-PSK
— useful during transitional times for upgrades in the home or
SOHO environment, a pre-shared key must be entered along with the group re-key interval
time. Both TKIP and AES are also used.
MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to manage MAC address filters.
Add the MAC addresses that you want to manage and then select the mode that you want to use
to manage them. You can disable this feature or you can allow or deny access to the MAC
addresses that you add to the list.
To add a MAC Filter:
1.
In the Wireless — MAC Filter page, select the SSID for the

Wireless Bridge
In the

point or wireless bridge. If you enable the bridge restrict option, then proceed to enter the MAC
addresses of the remote bridges.
To restrict a wireless bridge:
1.
In the

Advanced
The Advanced page configures advanced features of the wireless LAN interface.
Advanced features include:
Band
— a default setting at 2.4GHz – 802.11g
Channel
— 802.11b and 802.11g use channels to limit interference from other devices. If
you are experiencing interference with another 2.4Ghz device such as a baby monitor,
security alarm, or cordless phone, then change the channel on your router.
Auto Channel Timer
— a timer that rescans and finds the best available channel for use
on your wireless network.
54g Rate
— rate at which information will be transmitted and received on your wireless
network.
Multicast Rate
— the rate at which a message is sent to a specified group of recipients.
Basic Rate
— the set of data transfer rates that all the stations will be capable of using to
receive frames from a wireless medium.
Fragmentation Threshold
— used to fragment packets which help improve performance
in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference.
RTS Threshold (Request to Send Threshold)
— determines the packet size of a
transmission through the use of the router to help control traffic flow.
DTIM Interval
— sets the Wake-up interval for clients in power-saving mode.
Beacon Interval
— a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other
devices where it announces its availability and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of
time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be
adjusted in milliseconds (ms).
Xpress Technology
— a technology that utilizes standards based on frame bursting to achieve
higher throughput. With Xpress Technology enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the

individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25% in 802.11g
only networks and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b equipment.
54g Mode
— 54g is a Broadcom Wi-Fi technology.
54g Protection
— the 802.11g standards provide a protection method so 802.11g and
802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network without “speaking” at the same time. Do
not disable 54g Protection if there is a possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use
your wireless network. In Auto Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to
Send / Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b
networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.
Preamble Type
— this information relates to wireless communication based
Transmit Power
— select from 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The default value is
100% but can be changed.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)
— prioritizes traffic from different applications such as voice,
audio and video applications under different environments and conditions.
WMM No Acknowledgement
— the acknowledgement policy used on the MAC level.
Enabling no-acknowledgement can result in efficient throughput but higher error rates in a
noisy Radio Frequency (RF) environment.
WMM APSD
— APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery). APSD manages radio usage for
battery-powered devices to allow battery life in certain conditions. APSD allows a longer
beacon interval until an application—VoIP for example—requiring a short packet exchange
interval starts. Only if the wireless client supports APSD does APSD affect radio usage and
battery life.
Station Info
The Station Info page shows stations that have been authorized access to the router through its
wireless function.
