6.3.1 Wireless LAN

SSID: The SSID is a unique name to identify the ADSL Router in the Wireless LAN. Wireless

Clients associating to the ADSL Router must have the same SSID.

Broadcast SSID: Select No to hide the SSID such that a station can not obtain the SSID

through passive scanning. Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain in the

SSID through Passive scanning.

Channel ID: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices us

called a channel.

[Authentication Type]

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless

network. Select Disable to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the access points

without any data encryption. Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to use data encryption.

Key#1~Key#4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL Router and the

wireless clients must use the same WEP key for data transmission. If you chose 64-bit WEP,

then enter any 10 hexadecimal digits (“0-9”, “A-F”) preceded by 0x for each key (1-4). If you

choose 1280bit WEP, then enter 26 hexadecimal digits (“0-9”, “A-F”) preceded by 0x for each

key (1-4). The values must be set up exactly the same on the Access Points as they are on the

wireless client stations. The same value must be assigned to Key 1 on both access point (your

ADSL Router) and the client adapters, the same value must be assigned to Key 2 on both

access point and the client stations and so on, for all four WEP keys.

WPA-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access, pre-shared key. Encrypts data frames before transmitting

over the wireless network.

Pre-shared Key is used to encrypt data. Both the ADSL Router and the wireless clients must

use the same WPA-PSK Key for data transmission.

6.3.2 Advanced Setting

Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.

Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to

synchronize the wireless network.

RTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling

RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS

handshake. Set this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit)

size TURNS OFF the RTS/CTS handshake. Set this attribute to ZERO TURNS ON the

RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value between 0 and 2432.

Fragment Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for

directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value
