•
Channel: Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down List of Channel. This
field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the
wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access
point.
•
Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
•
RTS/CTS Threshold: 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 data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases,
keep its default value of 2347.
•
DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, 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 Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
•
802.11 b/g: In the drop-down list you can select "802.11g (54Mbps)" or "802.11b
(11Mbps)". "802.11 b+g (54Mbps & 11Mbps)", which allows both 802.11g and 802.11b
wireless stations to connect to the Router.
Wireless MAC Address Filter: Wireless access can be filtered by using the MAC addresses
of the wireless devices transmitting within your network's RADIUS.
•
Active: If you wish to filter users by MAC Address, select "Activated", and "Deactived" for
don't.
•
Action: To filter wireless users by MAC Address, select "Allow Association" or "Deny
Association" the follow Wireless LAN station(s) association.
•
MAC Address: Enter the MAC Address you wish to filter in the field.
Multiple SSIDs Settings: These are the settings of the SSID.
•
SSID Index: The index of the SSID, and in this model, you can only leave it as a default
value of 1.
•
SSID: Wireless network name shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID
must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting
is the same for all stations in your wireless network. Type the desired SSID in the space
provided.
•
Broadcast SSID: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to
associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the
Router's SSID, keep the default setting. If you don't want to broadcast the Router's SSID,
select "No".
•
Authentication Type: Select an authentication type from the drop-down list, which
allows you to configure security features of the wireless LAN interface. Options available
are: Disabled, WEP-64Bits, WEP-128Bits, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK.
