Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, Preamble Type ……
You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on
this router.
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 wireless router 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 wireless router.
If you select "Auto", the wireless client can associate with
this wireless router 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.
RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the
wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
send this packet.
Beacon Interval
