WiFi Setup
made.
CTS Protection Mode: CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to
minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area
network (LAN). The default setting is Auto and the Router automatically
uses CTS Protection Mode when your Wireless-G products are
experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the Router
in an environment with heavy traffic. This function boosts the Router's
ability to catch all Wireless-B and Wireless-G transmissions, but it
severely decreases performance.
Preamble Length: The preamble is used by the client PC receiver to
acquire the wireless signal and synchronize with the router's transmitter.
The router supports Long Preamble and Short Preamble. Selecting
Long Preamble results in longer preamble transmission times yet
supports legacy 802.11 systems. Short Preamble reduces the preamble
transmission time but is not compatible with legacy 802.11 systems. The
default setting, Short Preamble, should be used unless you are
experiencing WiFi problems such as frequent disconnects, slow
upload/download along with a low signal strength.
SSID Suppress: For security purposes, you may choose to hide your
network's SSID by selecting Enable from the drop-down list. This will
prevent computers scanning for the presence of wireless networks to
detect your network name.
