Advanced Configuration

Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster

Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings

Advanced Wireless

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.

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 value is Auto.

CTS Protection Mode CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection

Mode should remain disabled unless you are having severe

problems with your Wireless-G products not being able

to transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy

802.11b traffic. This function boosts the Router’s ability

to catch all Wireless-G transmissions but will severely

decrease performance.

Frame Burst Enabling this option should provide your

network with greater performance, depending on the

manufacturer of your wireless products. To turn off the

Frame Burst option, select Disable. The default is Enable.

Beacon Interval The default value is 100. 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.

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.

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 On. AP Isolation is

turned Off by default.

Secure Easy Setup This feature allows you to enable or

disable the SecureEasySetup feature. Select Disable to

disable the feature and turn off the button’s light. The

feature is enabled by default.

Click the Save Settings button to apply your changes, or

click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your changes.

Security > Firewall

The Security > Firewall screen is used to configure a firewall

that can filter out various types of unwanted traffic on the

Router’s local network.
