AP Isolation

The AP (Access Point) Isolation feature

isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your

network from each other . Wireless devices will be able to

communicate with the Router but not with each other . To

use this option, select Enabled . AP Isolation is disabled by

default .

Frame Burst

Enabling this option should provide your

network with greater performance, depending on the

manufacturer of your wireless products . To use this option,

keep the default, Enabled . Otherwise, select Disabled .

Authentication Type

The Authentication Type setting

is available if the Security Mode is RADIUS or WEP . The

default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System

or Shared Key authentication to be used . With Open

System authentication, the sender and the recipient do

NOT use a WEP key for authentication . With Shared Key

authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for

authentication . Select Shared Key to only use Shared Key

authentication .

Basic Rate

The Basic Rate setting is not actually one

rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the

Router can transmit . (The Basic Rate is not the actual rate

of data transmission . If you want to specify the Router’s

rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission

Rate setting .) The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to

the other wireless devices in your network, so they know

which rates will be used . The Router will also advertise that

it will automatically select the best rate for transmission .

The default setting is Default, when the Router can

transmit at all standard wireless rates (1-2 Mbps, 5 .5 Mbps,

11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, and 24 Mbps) . Select 1-2Mbps for

use with older wireless technology . Select All, when the

Router can transmit at all wireless rates .

Transmission Rate

The Transmission setting is available

if the Network Mode is BG-Mixed, Wireless-G Only, or

Wireless-B Only . The rate of data transmission should be

set depending on the speed of your wireless network .

Select from a range of transmission speeds, or keep the

default, Auto, to have the Router automatically use the

fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback

feature . Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible

connection speed between the Router and a wireless

client .

N Transmission Rate

The N Transmission setting is

available if the Network Mode is Mixed or Wireless-N Only .

The rate of data transmission should be set depending

on the speed of your Wireless-N networking . Select from

a range of transmission speeds, or keep the default,

Auto, to have the Router automatically use the fastest

possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature .

Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection

speed between the Router and a wireless client .
