4.4.5 Configuring Advanced Network Settings

Network address translation (NAT) allows users on the LAN to access the Internet through a single or multiple Public IP Addresses.
NAT provides firewall protection from hacker attacks and allows for mapping LAN IP addresses to WAN IP addresses with key ser-
vices such as websites, FTP, video game servers, etc.
Data Rate Select a data rate from the
drop-down list. The data rate affects
throughput. If you select a low data rate
value, for example, the throughput is
reduced but the transmission distance
increases.
Transmit Power Lets you increase or
decrease transmit power. Higher
transmit power may prevent
connections to the network, while the
lower transmit power can prevent clients
from connecting to the device.
RTS/CTS Threshold Specify the
threshold package size for RTC/CTS. A
small number causes RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often and consumes more bandwidth.
Distance Specify the distance between Access Points and clients. Longer distances may drop high-speed connections.
Aggregation Merges data packets into one packet. This option reduces the number of packets, but increases packet sizes.
Enable Traffic Shaping Check this option to enable wireless traffic shaping. Traffic shaping regulates the flow of packets leaving an
interface to deliver improved Quality of Service.
Incoming Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission speed used for downloading.
Outgoing Traffic Limit Specify the wireless transmission speed used for uploading.
