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.
RTS Threshold:
RTS Threshold is a mechanism to implement in collision avoidance. In a large wireless
network, two stations do not hear each other but can hear wireless access point. When the two send data
to Access Point at the same time, it may result in data collision and a loss of messages for both wireless
stations. In most case, keeping the default value=2347 is recommended.
RF Output Power:
You can adjust the percentage of power 100, 50, 25, 10, 5 of your VoIP Router to
change the coverage of wireless network. Keep the default value, 100% to reach full range.

Security Settings
Select SSID:
Select an SSID to configure wireless security mechanism.
Security Mode:
Select the encryption/authentication type: None, WPA, WPA2 and WPA / WPA2 Mixed.
WPA Authentication Mode
The wireless network can use WPA Authentication to verify whether a wireless device is allowed to access
your Access Point or not. You can choose to use Enterprise (RADIUS) method or Personal (Pre-Shared
Key). The encryption mechanism used for RADIUS and WPA-PSK is the same. The difference between the
two is that WPA-PSK uses a specific characters sting like password instead of a user-authentication.
