AP Isolation

This isolates all wireless clients and wireless

devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices
will be able to communicate with the Router but not
with each other. To use this function, select Enabled. AP
Isolation is disabled by default.

Frame Burst

Enabling this option should provide your

network with greater performance, depending on the
manufacturer of your wireless products. To use this option,
keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled.

Authentication Type

The default is set to Auto, which

allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication
to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender
and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication.
With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient
use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to
only use Shared Key authentication.

Basic Rate

The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate

of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router
can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the
other wireless devices in your network, so they know which
rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will
automatically select the best rate for transmission. The
default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit
at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps,
18Mbps, and 24Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for
use with older wireless technology, and All, when the
Router can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate
is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to
specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure
the Transmission Rate setting.

Transmission Rate

The rate of data transmission should

be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.
You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you
can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
