Wireless Mode: Select “G-mode Only” if all your wireless clients are 802.11g
devices. Select “Auto” if you have both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless clients on
your network.
Authentication Type: Select “Open” to allow wireless clients to attach to your
access point without authentication. Select “Shared” to implement WEP key
authentication before a wireless client can attach to your access point. Select “Both”
to support both authentication types.
SSID Broadcast: Select “Enable” to allow wireless devices to detect your access
point. Select “Disable” to prevent wireless devices from detecting your access point,
which helps to secure your wireless network from probable hackers or unauthorized
users.
Beacon Interval: The interval between transmissions of beacon frames which are
used by the access point to announce its presence. The default value is 100
milliseconds.
RTS Threshold: RTS (Request To Send) Threshold sets the size of the data packet
that will trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism on your access point. The default value is
2346.
Fragmentation Threshold: Fragmentation Threshold sets the maximum size of a
data packet. Data packets exceeding this size will be fragmented into smaller
packets before transmission. The default value is 2346.
DTIM Interval: DTIM (Delivery Time Indication Message) Interval specifies the
number of beacon frames that must be transmitted before the access point sends the
buffered multicast frames. The default value is 1.
Transmission Rate: Typical transmission rates are 11Mbps for 802.11b and
54Mbps for 802.11g. From the dropdown box, select “Auto” to allow the router to
use the fastest available data rate, select “11” to allow only 11Mbps data rate, or
select “54” to allow only 54Mbps data rate.
