Description
There are two authentication types: "Open System"
and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System",
wireless stations can associate with this wireless
router 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 wireless router. If you select
"Auto", the wireless client can associate with this
wireless router by using any one of these two
authentication types.
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size
of packet during the fragmentation of data to be
transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will
result in bad performance.
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold,
the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS
mechanism to send this packet.
The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast
a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the
wireless network.
