WIFI MANAGER FOR ADVANCED USERS
WiFi Manager has been designed to respond to the needs of the widest cross-section of the public. Thus,
after having explained the most useful functionalities in the previous chapters, we dedicate this chapter to
users who wish to take advantage of the subtleties of WiFi, and explore their modem router’s more advanced
functionalities.
But be careful! Modifying certain settings may have a negative impact on the proper
functioning of your network, and therefore on your modem router. You should bear in mind, however, that
nothing is irreversible, and that you can always return to the original configuration or reload a personalized
configuration.
6.1.
Configuring your WiFi network’s advanced options
This window contains the settings which affect the functioning of your Hercules Modem Router. If you
do not know their functions, we recommend that you keep the default settings.
- In the
Your WiFi connection parameters window,
click the
Advanced WiFi options button located in
the lower left-hand corner of the window.
- If you do not want the network to broadcast its
name, tick the
Hide your network name (SSID)
box.
The SSID is hidden, and the network name is not
displayed during detection by a WiFi client (the
Network name (SSID) field is blank in Hercules WiFi
Station, for example).
Make sure that you do not lose or forget this name,
as you will need it to connect your WiFi devices.
- Select the WiFi mode to be used by your modem
router:
Mixed, B only or G only.
If you select
B only
, 802.11 G devices will
not
be
able to connect.
If you select
G only
, 802.11 B devices will
not
be
able to connect.
If you select
Mixed
, 802.11
B and G
devices will be
able to connect.
- The
Beacon Period allows you to define the
wireless network detection interval.
- When an
RTS threshold is defined, the wireless
device asks the
access point
for authorization to
transmit data, thereby avoiding data arriving
simultaneously (risk of collision).
Modifying the RTS threshold may affect your
modem router’s performance.
