Advanced Wireless Settings (See Figure 6-19.)
On this screen you can access the Advanced Wireless features, including Authentication Type,
Basic Data Rates,
Control Tx Rates, Beacon Interval, DTIM Interval, RTS Threshold, and Fragmentation Threshold.
• Authentication Type. The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key
authentication
to be used. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key
for
authentication. For Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for
authentication. If
you want to use only Shared Key authentication, then select Shared Key.
CTS Protection mode: Ensures that your wireless router does
not interfere with neighbor networks. 802.11b networks
cannot hear 802.11g networks, but 802.11g networks can
hear 802.11b networks. 802.11g networks cause collisions on
802.11b networks so the Protection Mode forces the 802.11g
network to negotiate around the 802.11b network. The
default is Auto.
• Basic Data Rates. Select 1-2 Mbps, All, or Default, from the drop-down menu.
• Control Tx Rates. The default transmission rate is Auto. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate
of data
transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from
a range of
transmission speeds, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have the Router automatically use the
fastest
possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best
possible
connection speed between the Router and a wireless client.
• Beacon Interval. The default value is 100. Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The
Beacon
Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to
synchronize the wireless network.
• DTIM Interval The default value is 3. This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds, indicates the
interval of the
