WiFi Setup

Working Mode: From this drop-down menu, you can select the type of

wireless standard for your WiFi network.

Transmit Power: The power level for WiFi transmission to be used by

the router.

RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting. If

inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be

made.

CTS Protection Mode: CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to

minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area

network (WLAN). The default setting is Auto and the Router

automatically uses CTS Protection Mode when your Wireless-G

products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit

to the Router in an environment with heavy traffic. This function boosts

the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-B and Wireless-G

transmissions, but it severely decreases performance.

Preamble Length: The preamble is used by the client PC receiver to

acquire the wireless signal and synchronize with the router's transmitter.

The router supports Long Preamble and Short Preamble. Selecting

Long Preamble results in longer preamble transmission times yet

supports legacy 802.11 systems. Short Preamble reduces the

preamble transmission time but is not compatible with legacy 802.11

systems. The default setting, Short Preamble, should be used unless

you are experiencing WiFi problems such as frequent disconnects,

slow upload/download along with a low signal strength.

SSID Suppress: For security purposes, you may choose to hide your

network’s SSID by selecting Enable from the drop-down list. This will

prevent computers scanning for the presence of wireless networks to

detect your network name.

Security

Authentication Type: Allows you to configure the authentication method

used to the router to authenticate clients. The router supports the

following authentication types: Open System, 802.1x, Shared Key, WPA,

WPA2, WPA-WPA2-Mixed, WPA PSK, WPA2 PSK, WPA-WPA2-Mixed

PSK.

Encryption: Select the type of encryption on the data that is transmitted

between the router and the clients. The router supports the following

authentication types: WEP, TPIK, AES, TPIKAES.
