Data Rate The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point uses to
transmit data packets. The access point will use the
highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit
the data packets.
Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide
better wireless LAN performance.
Broadcast ESSID
If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station
located within the coverage of this access point can
discover this access point easily. If you are building a
public wireless network, enabling this feature is
recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide
better security.
IAPP
If you enable “IAPP”, it will allow wireless station roaming
between IAPP enabled access points within the same
wireless LAN.
802.11g Protection This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to
enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and
802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is
enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due
to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.
Click < Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now
configure other advance sections or start using the router.
2.4.3 Security
This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP, IEEE
802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these
security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your
wireless stations use the same security function.
2.4.3.1 WEP only
When you select 64-bit or128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can
generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them
as default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys
