from the drop down list box to enable MAC address filtering.
Filter Action
Define the filter action for the list of MAC addresses in the
MAC Address

Deny
to block access to the NBG-418N, MAC addresses not listed will be allowed to
access the NBG-418N.

access to the NBG-418N.
Set
This is the index number of the MAC address.
MAC Address
Enter the MAC addresses of the wireless station that are allowed or denied access to the
NBG-418N in these address fields. Enter the MAC addresses in a valid MAC address format,
that is, six hexadecimal character pairs, for example, 12:34:56:78:9a:bc.

Table 31

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Wireless Advanced Setup
RTS/CTS
Threshold
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS (Request To Send)/
CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.
Enter a value between
0
and
2347
.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.
It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter an even number between
256
and
2346
.
Beacon Interval
When a wirelessly networked device sends a beacon, it includes with it a beacon interval.
This specifies the time period before the device sends the beacon again. The interval tells
receiving devices on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before
waking up to handle the beacon. This value can be set from
20
to
1024
ms. A high value
helps save current consumption of the access point.
DTIM Period
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is the time period after which broadcast and
multicast packets are transmitted to mobile clients in the Active Power Management
mode. A high DTIM value can cause clients to lose connectivity with the network. This
value can be set from
1
to
10
.
Preamble Type
A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble modes:
long and short. If a device uses a different preamble mode than the NBG-418N does, it
cannot communicate with the NBG-418N.
CTS Protection
When set to
None
, the NBG-418N protects wireless communication against interference.
Select
Auto
to let the NBG-418N determine whether to turn this feature on or off in the
current environment.
Tx Power
This field controls the transmission power of the NBG-418N. When using the NBG-418N
with a notebook computer, select a lower transmission power level when you are close to
the AP in order to conserve battery power.

Quality of Service (QoS) Screen
Use the
QoS
screen to enable Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMMQoS). This allows the NBG-
418N to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP, chat, and so on.
Click
Network

Wireless LAN

QoS

Extension Channel
If you select
40 MHz
or
Auto 20/40MHz
as your
Channel Bandwidth
in the
Wireless
LAN > General
screen, the extension channel enables the NBG-419N to get higher data
throughput. This also lowers radio interference and traffic.
Aggregation
Message Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames along with their
802.11n headers and wraps them in a 802.11n MAC header. This method is useful for
increasing bandwidth throughput in environments that are prone to high error rates.
Mac Service Data Unit (MSDU) aggregation collects Ethernet frames without any of their
802.11n headers and wraps the header-less payload in a single 802.11n MAC header.
This method is useful for increasing bandwidth throughput. It is also more efficient than
A-MPDU except in environments that are prone to high error rates.
Short GI
Select
Enable
to use Short GI (Guard Interval). The guard interval is the gap introduced
between data transmission from users in order to reduce interference. Reducing the GI
increases data transfer rates but also increases interference. Increasing the GI reduces
data transfer rates but also reduces interference.
Enable Intra-BSS
Traffic
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or
between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is
enabled, wireless client
A
and
B
can access the wired network and communicate with
each other. When Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless client
A
and
B
can still access the wired
network but cannot communicate with each other.
WLAN STA setting
overwrites WLAN
AP setting
This field is available only when the NBG-418N is in universal repeater mode.
Select
Enabled
to have the NBG-418N copy the SSID and wireless security settings of
the associated AP, and use them for wireless connections between the NBG-418N and its
wireless clients.
Otherwise, select
Disabled
to configure different wireless and security settings for
wireless connections between the NBG-418N and its wireless clients.
