USERS GUIDE

Advanced settings contain Beacon Period, RTS threshold and Fragmentation.
Beacon Period
: Beacon Period is the frequency of broadcast packets from the
device which is used to synchronize wireless networks. Set lower value for finding
and connecting to the device fast when higher value helps to save power.
RTS Threshold
: RTS Threshold is the maximum packet size (in bytes) that RTS/CTS
(Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshaking is used for.
Fragmentation:
Fragmentation is the maximum packet size (in bytes). When exceed this,
it will be fragmented into multiple packets before transmitted.
Note:
Change this value only if you're experiencing inconsistent data flow. Make
only minor changes to this value.
Security
This part helps you configure the security of the wireless network.
Select an encryption mode in the list and set your password. If you select "None", any
Wi-Fi-enabled device can connect with the WLAN without the password.
None:
Not security. It is not recommended since anyone can access your
device and use your internet connection.
WEP 64 Bit - Shared
: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.
Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2. Shared WEP
uses the same key for encryption and authentication which is considered to be
less secure than open WEP. 10 HEX characters needed.
WEP 128 Bit - Shared
: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices. Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication which is
considered to be less secure than open WEP. 26 HEX characters needed.
WEP 64 Bit - Open
: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.
Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2. Open WEP
uses the key only for encryption. 10 HEX characters needed.
WEP 128 Bit - Open
: Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices.
Recommended only if your devices don't support WPA or WPA2. Open WEP
uses the key only for encryption. 26 HEX characters needed.
WPA - Personal TKIP
: A strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi
devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters needed.
WPA - Personal TKIP/AES
: A strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi
devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters needed.
WPA2 - Personal AES
: A stronger, newer security standard. Limited to newer
Wi-Fi devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters needed.
WPA2 - Personal TKIP/AES
: A stronger, newer security standard. Limited to
newer Wi-Fi devices. 8 to 63 ASCII characters needed.
