transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular 
intervals. This feature is intended to allow clients to 
dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled, 
the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the 
clients cannot directly discover the router and MUST be 
configured with the SSID for access to the router. It is 
used to protect your network from being accessed easily. 
Relay Blocking 
When you enable this function, wireless clients will not be 
able to directly access other wireless clients. 
Protection 
This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to 
enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can 
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 
802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the protection 
mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little 
lower. 
Aggregation 
This is used to join multiple data packets for transmission 
as a single unit to increase network efficiency. 
Short GI 
The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400 ns 
(short) and 800 ns (long). Support of the 400 ns GI is 
optional for transmit and receive. Enabling this function 
will increase network efficiency. 
When you finish, click “Apply Changes.” You’ll see the following message 
displayed on Web browser. 
Click “Continue” to save the settings made and go back to the Web management 
interface; click “Apply” to save the settings made and restart the router so the 
settings will take effect after it reboots.
