to display the configuration screen. The
default wireless settings in this screen work in most wireless network environment.
Authentication Type
– IEEE 802.11b defines a basic authentication security using WEP
(Wireless Equivalent Protocol) keys.
•
Select
Open System
if you don’t want to use a WEP key for authentication.
•
Select
Share Key
to set the Wireless-G Router and the peer wireless devices to
authenticate each other with a WEP key.
•
Select
Auto
to allow both open or shared authentication.
Note: The peer wireless device must also set to use the same authentication type.
Fragmentation Threshold
– Specify the maximum packet size allowed before the Wireless-G
Router fragments data. If there are many error packets on the network, slightly increase the
threshold. Setting the threshold too low decreases network performance. Always make a small
change to the default settings.
RTS Threshold
– The Wireless-G Router will send a Request To Send (RTS) packet to a
sending host. When an acknowledgement is received, the Wireless-G Router sends a Clear
To Send (CTS) packets to that host to allow data transmission. RTS/CTS eliminates the
“hidden node” problem where two hosts are within range of each other but does not know
each other’s presence. If the number of packets is lower than the RTS threshold, this feature
is not activated. If you are experiencing inconsistent data flow on the network, slightly reduce
this number.
Beacon Interval
– A beacon packet is broadcast by the Wireless-G Router to synchronize the
wireless network. The beacon interval allows a wireless client in power saving mode to know
when to “wake up” and detect if there’s packet waiting to be received. Specify the time period
between beacon broadcasts.
Data Rate
– Select a transmission rate the Wireless-G Router uses to send data. Select
Auto
to allow the Wireless-G Router to use the maximum transmission rate possible.
Note: If you specify a transmission rate here, make sure the peer wireless devices must
also use the same rate for wireless communication.
Wireless network coverage
– Select an option to set the wireless coverage range.
