Wireless – Advanced
This page allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You
can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a
particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup
interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set
XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used.
= Band: Select 802.11b/g using wireless frequency band range. The radio frequency remains at 2.437 GHz.
= Channel: Fill in the appropriate channel to correspond with your network settings. 11 is the default channel. All devices in your wireless network must use the same
channel in order to work correctly. This router supports auto channeling functionality.
= Auto Channel Timer(min): Specifies the timer of auto channelling.
= 54g™ Rate: Select the transmission rate for the network. 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.
= Multicast Rate: Select the multicast transmission rate for the network. 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.
= Basic Rate: Select the basic transmission rate ability for the AP.
= Fragmentation Threshold: Packets that are larger than this threshold are fragmented into multiple packets. Try to increase the fragmentation threshold if you
encounter high packet error rates. Do not set the threshold too low, since this can result in reduced networking performance.
= RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reductions are recommended. Should
you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold
size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a
