Advanced Wireless
AP Isolation This 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 function, 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 the Frame
Burst option, select Enabled. The default is Disabled.
Authentication Type 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.
Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not one, 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..
Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission should
be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.
You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you
can select 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. The default value is Auto.
CTS Protection Mode CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection
Mode should remain disabled unless you are having severe
problems with your wireless products not being able
to transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy
latency wireless traffic. This function boosts the Router’s
ability to catch all wireless transmissions but will severely
decrease performance. The default value is Auto.
Beacon Interval A beacon is a packet broadcast by the
Router to synchronize the wireless network. Enter a value
between 20 and 1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval
value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.The
default value is 100.
DTIM Interval This value, between 3 and 255, indicates
the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 3.
