Wireless-G Router for Mobile Broadband
The Wireless Tab - Advanced Wireless Settings
This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an
expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance.
Advanced Wireless
Authentication Type
. The default is set to
Auto
, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication
to be used. With
Open System
authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for
authentication. With
Shared Key
authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication.
Basic Rate
. The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the
Router can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so
they know which rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will automatically select the best rate
for transmission. The default setting is
Default
, when the Router can transmit at all standard wireless rates
(1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, 18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are
1-2Mbps
, for use with older wireless
technology, and
All
, when the Router can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of
data transmission. If you want to specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission Rate
setting.
Transmission Rate
. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless
network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select
Auto
to have the Router
automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will
negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a wireless client. The default value is
Auto
.
CTS Protection Mode
. CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode should remain disabled unless you are having
severe problems with your Wireless-G products not being able to transmit to the Router in an environment with
heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-G transmissions but will
severely decrease performance.
Frame Burst
. Enabling this option should provide your network with greater performance, depending on the
manufacturer of your wireless products. If you are not sure how to use this option, keep the default,
Disable
.
Beacon Interval
. The default value is
100
. Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize
the wireless network.
DTIM Interval
. This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
