Advanced Settings

This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included
are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval,
and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless you know
what effect the changes will have on the router.
Fragment Threshold "Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of a
packet during the 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 then the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Broadcast ESSID If you enabled "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station
located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point
easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is
recommended. Disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security.
