Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network settings. Y ou shall assign a different channel for each AP to avoid signal interference.

Security: There are 3 types of security to be selected. To secure your Wireless Networks, 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. WEP keys must consist of the letters "A" through "F" and the numbers "O" through "9."

Make sure that all wireless devices on your 2.4GHz network are using the same encryption level and key. WEP keys must consist ofthe letters "A" through "F" and the numbers "0" through "9".

In order to make right use of WPA, please ensure that your current Wireless Adapter's driver, and Wireless Utility can support it WPA needs 802.1x authentication (when RADIUS mode is chosen), though the Operating System must also support 802.1x protocol. For Microsofts OS family, only Windows XP has incorporated this by default. The rest of the OS must installed 3er party's client software such as Funk ODySSey.

There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.

To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field between 8 and 63 characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999 seconds.

Authentication Type: Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will change its authentication type automatically to fulfill clients requirement. Open System: Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may decline to authenticate with any particular other client. Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism.

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 AP automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-F allback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client. The default setting is AUTO.

Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. À beacon is a packet broadcast by the AP to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.

RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. 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.

Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. It should remain at its default setting of 2346. 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 modifications of this value are recommended.

DTIM Interval: This value 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 Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.

Access Point Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
