RTS/CTS Threshold Value   

    Should remain at its default setting of 2,347. A preamble is a signal used to synchronize the transmission timing 

between two or more systems. A series of transmission pulses is sent before the data to indicate that someone is about 

transmit data.?This ensures that systems receiving the information correctly when the data transmission starts.   

Shared Key   

    Is when both the sender and recipient share a secret key. Both units use this key for an extended length of time, 

sometimes indefinitely. Any eavesdropper that discovers the key may decipher all packets until the key is changed.   

Signal Strength   

    The signal level indicates the strength of the signal as received at the wireless network interface.   

SSID (Service Set Identifier)   

    Is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the 

network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.   

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)   

    A data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 .11 standard. The 

optional cryptographic confidentiality algorithm specified by IEEE 802.11 used to provide data confidentiality that is 

subjectively equivalent to the confidentiality of a wired LAN medium that does not employ cryptographic techniques to 

enhance privacy. 

WPA 

Wi-Fi Protected Access, a specification to improve the security level of wireless networks. It uses 802.1x and EAP to 

control network access. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is used to secure data during transmission.
