Wireless-N Broadband Router
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
connection speed between the Router and a wireless
client. The default is Auto.
N Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission
should be set depending on the speed of your Wireless-N
networking. 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 connection speed between the Router and a
wireless client. The default is Auto.
CTS Protection Mode The Router will automatically
use CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your
Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing
severe problems and are not able to transmit to the
Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This
function boosts the Routers ability to catch all Wireless-
N and Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease
performance. The default is Auto.
Beacon Interval Enter a value between 1 and 65,535
milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the
frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet
broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless
network. The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval This value, between 1 and 255, indicates
the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast
and multicast messages. The default value is 1.
Fragmentation Threshold This value specifies the
maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented
into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet
error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low
may result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most
cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
RTS Threshold Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the
preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the
wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame
to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS
Threshold value should remain at its default value of
2347.
