SSID Broadcast:
Select this option to enable the SSID to broadcast in your network. When configuring
the network, it is suggested to enable this function but disable it when the configuration is complete.
With this enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID information with the site survey software and
get unauthorized access to a private network. With this disabled, network security is enhanced and can
prevent the SSID from being seen on networked.
¾
SSID:
The SSID is the unique name shared among all devices in a wireless network. The SSID
must be the same for all devices in the wireless network. It is case sensitive and has a maximum
length of 32 bytes.
y

Auto
. Available range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The rate of data transmission
should be set depending on the speed of the wireless network. Select from a range of transmission
speed or keep the default setting,

possible.
y
Fragment Length:
The fragmentation threshold determines whether packets will be fragmented. Enter
a value between 256 and 2346.
y

Enter a value between 256 and 2346. When wireless clients would like to send a packet
