Section 3 - Configuration
This window allows you to change the behavior of the 80.11g wireless radio from the standard settings. Please be aware that any
changes to the factory default settings may adversely affect the behavior of your network.
Transmit Power:
Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a
Beacon
wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and
interval:
is recommended.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If
RTS Threshold:
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification
should be made.
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
Fragmentation:
determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding
the 36 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346
is the default setting.
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default setting. A
DTIM Interval:
DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Select Short or Long Preamble. The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique
Preamble Type:
for detecting data transmission errors) for communication between the wireless router and the roaming wireless network adapters. Auto
is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network
CTS Mode:
(LAN). CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling
CTS will add overhead and may lower wireless through put. None: CTS is typically used in a pure 80.11g environment. If
CTS is set to "None" in a mixed mode environment populated by 80.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently.
Always: CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data. Auto: CTS will monitor the wireless
network and automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on the wireless
network.
802.11g Only
Mode:
Tick this checkbox to restrict access to 80.11g devices only.
