Parameters Description
There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". When
Authentication Type
you select "Open System", wireless stations can associate with this access point
without WEP encryption. When you select "Shared Key", you should also setup
WEP key in the "Encryption" page and wireless stations should use WEP
encryption in the authentication phase to associate with this access point. If you
select "Auto", the wireless client can associate with this WRT-403 by using any
one of these two authentication types.
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of packet during the
Fragment Threshold
fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result
in bad performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the access point will not use
the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
