 Cloning Mode
This feature controls the MAC Address of the
Bridge as seen by other devices (wired or wireless).
If set to “Ethernet Client”, the MAC Address from
the first Ethernet client that transmits data through
the Bridge will be used. This setting is useful when
connected to an Xbox or if there is only one
Ethernet device connected to the bridge. When
multiple Ethernet devices are connected to the
Bridge, it may not be obvious which MAC Address is
being used.
If set to “WLAN Card”, the MAC Address of the
WLAN Card (typically written on the back of the
card) will be used. When multiple Ethernet devices
are connected to the Bridge, the MAC Address of
the Bridge will not change.
 Fragmentation threshold
Transmitted wireless packets larger than this size
will be fragmented to maintain performance in noisy
wireless networks.
 RTS threshold
Transmitted wireless packets larger than this size
will use the RTS/CTS protocol to (a) maintain
performance in noisy wireless networks and (b)
prevent hidden nodes from degrading performance.
 Maximum burst time
This is also known as PRISM Nitro (tm)
technology. The technology uses fully standards-
compliant methods that eliminate collisions in mixed-
