ASUS WLAN Card

Wireless Network Key (WEP) - This option becomes configurable when you

select WEP in the Data encryption field. 64-bit WEP key uses 5 ASCII characters

(10 hexadecimal digits). 128-bit WEP key uses 13 ASCII (26 hexadecimal digits).
Key Format - Allows you to select the key format.
Manual Assignment (WPA and WPA2)- Allows you to assign WEP Keys

manually.

Key Length - Allows you to select the key length. For 64bits encryption, each

key consists of 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. For 128bits

encryption, each key consists of 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.

Select one as your Default Key - Allows you to select one of the four WEP

Keys as the default key.

Passphrase - Select 64bits WEP or 128bits WEP in WEP encryption field to

generate 4 WEP keys automatically.

Configuration - Advanced

This Advanced page is intended for

experienced users to set up additional

parameters for the WLAN card. We

recommend that you keep the default

values.
RTS Threshold (0-247) - The Request

to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS)

function is used to minimize collisions

among wireless stations. When RTS/

CTS is enabled, the router refrains from

sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable

RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is

recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (26-246) - Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11

frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination.

Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an

excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation

values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is

recommended for normal use.
Preamble Mode - Select the preamble mode. The default value is Auto.
