ƒ Click on the Advanced Settings link on the navigation drop-down menu. These
options allow you to configure the authentication type, fragment threshold, RTS
threshold, beacon interval, and RF output power.
ƒ Authentication Type: Select Open System, Shared Key or Auto as an
authentication type. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it
conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All
authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an
unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the
AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it
back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point
allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you
are not sure which authentication type is used.
ƒ Fragment Threshold: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between 256 and 65535.
The default value is 2346.
ƒ RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from
degrading the performance. Specify a value between 1 and 2347. The default value
is 2347.
