Parameters

Description

Authentication Type

There are two authentication types:

“Open System” and “Shared Key”. When you

select

“Open System”, wireless stations can associate with this access point

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 access point. If you

select

“Both”, the wireless client can associate with this access point by using

any one of these two authentication types.

Fragment Threshold

“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.
