This section allows you to set up
additional parameters for the wireless
router function. We recommend that
you use the default values for all items
in this window.
Hide SSID - By default, “No” is selected so that wireless mobile users
can see your ASUS 802.11g AP’s SSID and join. If “Yes” is selected, your
ASUS 802.11g AP will not show in site surveys by wireless mobile clients
and they will have to manually enter your ASUS 802.11g AP’s SSID. If you
want to restrict access to “your” ASUS 802.11g AP , this is a simple way to
do it but for security reasons, don’t forget to change the SSID to something
other than “default”.
Set AP Isolated - Selecting Yes to prevent wireless client from communicating
with each other.
Data Rate (Mbps) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate.
Leave on “Auto” to maximize performance versus distance.
Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients must
support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when backward compatibility is needed for
some older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of 2Mbps.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346) – 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.
RTS Threshold (0-2347) – The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When
RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until
