z Fragment Threshold
"Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of packet during the fragmentation of data to be
transmitted.
z RTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS
mechanism to send this packet.
z Beacon Interval
The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the
wireless network.
z Data Rate
The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the
highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
z Preamble Type
The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can
provide better wireless LAN performance
z Broadcast SSID
If you enable “Broadcast SSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point
can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature
is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast SSID” can provide better security.
z IAPP
If you enable “IAPP”, it will allow wireless station roaming between IAPP enabled access points within
the same wireless LAN.
z 802.11g Protection
This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This
mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations.
When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to many of
frame traffic should be transmitted.
z IAPP
Click to enable or disable the IAPP function.
