11g Wireless Client Bridge/AP
Version 1.36

Authentication Type:
select an authentication method. Options available are
Open
System
,
Shared Key
or
Auto
. An open system allows any client to authenticate as
long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All
authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an
unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the
AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it
back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point
allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you
are not sure which authentication type is used.
Fragment Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks.
RTS Threshold
: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from
degrading the performance.
Beacon Interval
: Beacons will be sent out to devices at the specified intervals. This
value is measured in milliseconds (ms).
Output Power Level
: You may have the different application distance of the device
by selecting a value from the drop-down list. This feature can be helpful in restricting
the coverage area of the wireless network.
You can arrange the different data rate in distance in Bridge mode. Please refer
below table.
