Here are descriptions of each setup item:

Fragment

Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio.

Threshold (1):

Do not modify default value if you do not know correct

value (default value is 2346).

RTS Threshold (2):

Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio.

Do not modify

default value if you do not know correct value (default

value is 2347).

Beacon Interval (3): Set the beacon interval of wireless radio.

Do not modify

default value if you do not know correct value (default

value is 100).

DTIM Period (4):

Set the DTIM period of wireless radio.

Do not modify

default value if you do not know correct value (default

value is 3).

Data Rate (5):

Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value.

Since most wireless devices will negotiate with each

other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically,

it is not necessary to change this value unless you know

what will happen after modification.

N Data Rate (6):

Same as above, but only for 802.11n & 802.11ac clients.

Channel Width (7):

Set channel width of wireless radio.

You can modify

default value if you know what channel width you need

(default setting is ‘20 MHz’).

Preamble Type (8):

Set the type of preamble,

do not modify default value if

you do not know correct value (default setting is ‘Short

Preamble’).

Broadcast ESSID (9): Decide if the wireless router will broadcast its own

ESSID or not. You can hide the ESSID of your wireless

router (set the option to ‘Disable’) so only people who

know the ESSID of your wireless router can connect to it.

CTS Protect (10):

Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of radio

signal collisions between 802.11b and 802.11g/n wireless

access points. It is recommended to set this option to

‘Auto’ or ‘Always’. However, if you set to ‘None’, your

wireless router should still be able to work fine.

Tx Power (11):

You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless

you are using this wireless router in a really big space,

you may not have to set output power to 100%.

This will

enhance security (far away malicious / unknown users

will not be able to reach your wireless router).

WMM (12):

The short form of Wi-Fi MultiMedia; it will enhance the

data transfer performance of multimedia contents when

they are being transferred over wireless network.

If you

do not know what it is / are not sure if you need it, it is

safest to set this option to ‘Enable’.

After you finish these wireless settings, please click ‘Apply’ button, and the

following message will be displayed on your web browser:

Please click ‘Continue’ to return to previous setup menu and continue with

router setup, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so that settings take effect

(Please wait about 40 seconds for router to reboot).

8.3 Wireless Security

It is very important to set wireless security settings properly!

If you do not,

hackers and malicious users can reach your network and valuable data without

your consent and cause serious network security problems.

To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘2.4GHz Wireless’ or ‘5GHz

Wireless’ menu on the left of the web management interface, then click

‘Security Settings’, then follow these instructions to set wireless security

settings:

Please select an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there

are four options:

8.3.1 Disable wireless security

When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled and every wireless

device in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other

security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control [see section 8.4]

or disable ESSID broadcast).

Only use this option when you want to allow anyone to use your wireless

router and you do not care if someone reads the data you transfer over the

network without your consent.
