3.2.2 Advanced Wireless Settings

Click on the Advanced link under the System menu. This page allows you to enable
wireless MAC cloning as well as configure the fragmentation threshold, RTS
threshold, 802.11d, and the transmit power.
Bridge Name: This feature controls the MAC address of the Bridge as seen by other
devices (wired or wireless). If set to Ethernet Client, the MAC address from the first
Ethernet client that transmits data through the Bridge will be used. This setting is
useful when connected to an Xbox or if there is only one Ethernet device connected
to the Bridge. When multiple Ethernet devices are connected to the Bridge, it may
not be obvious which MAC address is being used. If set to WLAN Card, the MAC
address of the WLAN card will be used. When multiple Ethernet devices are
connected to the Bridge, the MAC address of the Bridge will not change.
Fragment Threshold: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between 256 and 65535.
The default value is 2346.
RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from
degrading the performance. Specify a value between 1 and 65535. The default value
is 2346.
802.11d Enable: 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in multiple
regulatory domains. This supplement to the 802.11 specifications defines the
physical layer requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current
MIB attributes, and other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs in
multiple regulatory domains (countries). The current 802.11 standard defines
operation in only a fixed regulatory domain (country). This supplement adds the
requirements and definitions necessary to allow WLAN equipment to operate in
