• Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will

change its authentication type automatically to fulfill a

client’s requirement.

Fragmentation

Threshold

Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of a

packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.

If you set this value too low, it will result in bad

performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.

RTS Threshold

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.

Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor

modifications are recommended. If a network packet is

smaller than the preset “RTS Threshold” size, the

RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The wireless

router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a

particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of

a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station

responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to

acknowledge the right to begin transmission.

Beacon Interval

This is the interval of time that this wireless router

broadcasts a beacon, which is used to synchronize the

wireless network. The range for the beacon period is 20

to 1024, with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).

Data Rate

This setting depends on the speed of your wireless

network. You should select from a range of transmission

speeds, or you can select “Auto” to have the wireless

router automatically use the fastest possible data rate

and enable the Auto-Fallback feature, which negotiates

the best possible connection speed between the router

and a wireless client. The default setting is “Auto.”

Preamble Type

This defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy

Check) block for communication between the router and

wireless stations. Make sure to select the appropriate

preamble type. Note that high network traffic areas

should use “Short Preamble.” CRC is a common

technique for detecting data transmission errors.

Broadcast SSID

If this option is enabled, the router will automatically
