This section introduces advanced configuration for the wireless access point. If you are not familiar with the
following functions, keep the default parameters. In some cases, incorrect settings may reduce wireless
performance.
ADVANCED -> Advanced Wireless -> Advanced
Authentication Type:
Select the type of authentication.
Open System -
Any wireless client can associate with the wireless access point but the client must
have the same WEP key to exchange data.
Shared Key -
Wireless clients must have the same WEP key to associate with wireless access point
and exchange data.
Auto -
Auto-detect the authentication type.
Fragmentation:
A packet can be fragmented into small units to pass over a network medium that can not
support the original packet size. If you encounter a busy network, a lower value of Fragment Threshold
could improve performance. If the traffic flows are not very busy, a higher Fragment Threshold provides
good network performance. In most case, keeping the default value=2346 is recommended.
