· RTS Threshold — The smallest packet size (in bytes) used by the Request to
Send/Clear to Send handshaking protocol. The recommended value is 2347. If
you are experiencing inconsistent data flow, you can make minor changes to this
value to try to alleviate the problem.
· Fragmentation Threshold — The largest allowable size (in bytes) for a packet. If
the packet is larger than this, it is sent in multiple packets, which can affect
network performance. It is recommended to keep this value as large as possible
(up to 2346).
· Broadcast Network Name — If you select Show , your Wi-Fi network name
(SSID) will be broadcast to everyone nearby. (Select Hide if you do not want it
broadcast.)

Set MAC filter mode
MAC (Media Access Control) filtering enables you to block unauthorized Wi-Fi devices
from accessing your Wi-Fi network (
Block list on page 47), or permit only authorized
Wi-Fi devices to access the network ( Allow list on page 48), based on each device’s
MAC address.
Note: Only one list can be active at any time — either the block (black) list or the allow (white)
list.
Note: The MAC filtering black list is also referred to as the block list. See View / block connected
users on page 25 for another method of blocking connected devices.
