Enable Wireless. If you disable the wireless, wireless devices cannot connect to the wireless router.
Mode. This field determines which data communication protocol will be used. You can keep the
default setting "MIXED" if you have 802.11g and 802.11b devices in the network. "G_ONLY"
dedicates the wireless router to communicating with the 802.11g wireless devices exclusively.
"B_ONLY" dedicates the wireless router to communicating with the 802.11b wireless devices
exclusively.
ESSID. The Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) is the network name shared among all devices in
a wireless network. The ESSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is
case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, which may be any keyboard character.
Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.
Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to
change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point
or wireless router.
Beacon Interval. The default value is 100. Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The
Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to synchronize the wireless network.
RTS Threshold. This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. The range is 256 ~ 2432 bytes.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the present RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled.
The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send
(CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Fragmentation Threshold. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is 256 ~
2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets.
If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too many may result in poor network performance. Only minor
