a. WEP
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.
Item Description
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 chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 26 hexadecimal digits
("0-9", "AF") 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 the access point
(your ADSL Router) and the client adapters, the same value must be assigned to
Key 2 on both the access point and the client stations and so on, for all four
WEP keys.
b.
WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access, pre-shared key. Encrypts data frames before transmitting over the
wireless network.
Item Description
Pre-shared Key The 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.
c.
Advanced setting
Item Description
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. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum
MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting
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 between 256 and 2432.
DTIM This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM).
