7.2 Advanced Wireless Settings
You can set advanced wireless LAN parameters of this router. The parameters include
Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, Preamble Type.
You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have
on this router.
Parameters Description
Authentication Type There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared
Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can
associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption. When
you select "Shared Key", you should also setup WEP key in the
"Encryption" page and wireless stations should use WEP encryption
in the authentication phase to associate with this wireless router. If
you select "Auto", the wireless client can associate with this wireless
router by using any one of these two authentication types.
Fragment 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.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the wireless
router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
