3.7.1.3 Advanced Setting
This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN. These setting shall not be
changed unless you know exactly what will happen for the changes you made on your router.
Fields in this page:
Field Description
Fragment Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. It 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 increases the “Fragment
Threshold” value within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting this value too
low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network
packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled. The AP 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.
Beacon Interval The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter
a value between 20 and 1024. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100.
Preamble Type The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)
block for communication between the AP and mobile wireless stations. Make
sure to select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high network traffic
areas should use the short preamble type. CRC is a common technique for
detecting data transmission errors.
IAPP The IEEE 802.11F or Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is a recommendation
that describes an optional extension to IEEE 802.11 that provides wireless

access-point communications among multivendor systems.
Protection Prevent from interference of 11b device.
Aggregation Aggregating data unit. It can improve some transmission efficiency.
Short GI Short guard interval. Short GI can improve transmission data rate
WLAN Partition Isolate each WLAN client.

3.7.1.4 Security
This screen allows you to setup the wireless security. Turn on WEP or WPA by using encryption keys could
prevent any unauthorized access to your WLAN.
Fields in this page:
Field Description
Encryption There are 4 types of security to be selected. To secure your WLAN, it’s strongly
recommended to enable this feature.
WEP: Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the same
encryption level and key. Click Set WEP Key button to set the encryption key.
WPA: WPA uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data encryption. AES
utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WPA2: WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WAP Mixed: The AP supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption.
The actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on the clients.
Authentication
Mode
Personal (Pre-Shared Key): Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared
secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key,
select key format and enter a password in the “Pre-Shared Key Format” and
“Pre-Shared Key” setting respectively. Please refer to “Pre-Shared Key Format” and
“Pre-Shared Key” setting below.
Pre-Shared Key
Format
PassPhrase: Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as user-friendly textual
secret.
Hex (64 characters): Select this to enter the Pre-Shared Key secret as hexadecimal
secret.
Pre-Shared Key Specify the shared secret used by this Pre-Shared Key. If the “Pre-Shared Key
Format” is specified as PassPhrase, then it indicates a passphrase of 8 to 63 bytes
long; or if the “Pre-Shared Key Format” is specified as PassPhrase, then it indicates
a 64-hexadecimal number.
