y Fragment Threshold: Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network medium
that cannot support the original size of the packet.
y RTS Threshold: Request To Send. A packet sent when a computer has data to transmit. The computer

be read. Select Authentication Type (Open System, Shared Key or Both), Key Length (64 bits or 128
bits), Key Index (Key1~Key4) and then input the Key. Check 802.1x Authentication to enable this
