"Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless
stations can associate with this wireless router without
WEP encryption. When you select "Shared Key", you
should also setup WEP key in the "Encryption" page and
wireless stations should use WEP encryption in the
authentication phase to associate with this wireless router.
If you select "Auto", the wireless client can associate with
this wireless router by using any one of these two
authentication types.
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of
packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.

wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
send this packet.
