automatically to fulfill client's requirement.
Open System:
Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may
decline to authenticate with any particular other client.
Shared Key:
Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key
authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who
know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared
Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key
in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism.
Transmission Rate:
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
setting is AUTO.
Xpress:
This is another wireless turbo mode. If wireless network card can support such
turbo mode, then suggest to enable this function for enhance your WLAN
performance.
DTIM Interval:
This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the
next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
Access Point Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
Beacon Interval:
The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a
value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.

RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are 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 data frame. After
