Power Saving Mode
The field allows you to set enable or disable the power saving mode. Power
saving mode can reduce power usage by temporarily disconnecting wireless
connections when the connection is idle. The default value is “Disabled”.
2.1 Advanced
RTS Threshold
The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is set to Enabled,
you can adjust the value between 0 to 3000. RTS threshold is a mechanism
implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden Node” is a situation
in which two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within
range of each other. Thus, it provides a solution to prevent data collisions. Enabling
RTS Threshold may cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect
the throughput performance.
Fragment Threshold
The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is set to Enabled,
you can adjust the value between 256 to 2346. Fragmentation mechanism is used
for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If
your wireless devices often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enable
the Fragmentation Threshold and the mechanism will split the packet to send.
2.2.2 Encryption
The Encryption tab is used to equip an additional measure of security on your
wireless network, which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, WEP can support high secure data encryption. WEP
encrypts each frame transmitted through the radio by using one of the Keys
entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received, it will only be
accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the same
WEP Key used by the transmitter. The Encryption tab contains some fields as
below.
Encryption [WEP security]
The field allows you to select Disabling, 64-bit and 128-bit. When setting 64bit, or
128 bits, it means WEP security is used.
