•
Access Point Settings:
o
Access Point:
Currently activated or deactivated.
o
Channel ID:
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g
wireless devices.
o
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 broadcasted by the Router to synchronize the wireless
network.
o
RTS Threshold:
The RTS (Request To Send) is the threshold (number
of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with 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. This option requires a value
between 0 and 2432.
o
Fragment Threshold:
The option dictates the threshold (number of
bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. It is the
maximum data fragment size that can be sent. This options requires a
value between 256 and 2432.
o
DTIM:
The DTIM value (between 1 and 255) indicates the interval of
the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
o
802.11b/g:
Selects between the 802.11b, 802.11g or mixed
(802.11b/g) standards.
•
Multiple SSIDs Settings:
o
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.
o
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 the SSID through passive
scanning.
o
Authentication type:
This option allows you to add security to your
wireless network. Select Disabled to completely remove security.
