Fragment Threshold: Default value is 2346. Specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in a bad performance.

RTS Threshold: Default value is 2347. When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

Beacon Interval: Default value is 100. This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.

DTIM Period: Default value is 1. Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets.

N Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed.

Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used.

Preamble Type: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance.

CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a lower due to an increase of data frame transmission.

TX Power: 10% to 100%. Default value is 100%.

- Security

ENHWI-N3 provides complete wireless LAN security types. Selections are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key or PSK and WPA with RADIUS. With these wireless securities, unauthorized access can be prevented. Make sure all other wireless stations use the same security type, and were setup with the same security key.

ESSID Selection: ENHWI-N3 router supports multiple ESSID, you can name your wireless ESSID here.

Broadcast ESSID: If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this Router can see this ESSID. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

WMM: Wi-Fi Multi Media if enabled supports QoS to dedicate line and other resource for better audio, video and voice streaming to a particular station and applications.

Encryption: If set to Disable, the router will have no protection against uninvited wireless guests, your LAN will be prone to hackers. It is highly recommended to Enable this function and set your own wireless security.

Enable 802.1x Authentication

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol using RADIUS server. When this is Enabled, every LAN user must use an account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication.

WEP Encryption

When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself. You can enter up to four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. The AP can receive any packet encrypted by one of the four keys.

Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". Both AP and wireless client must be configured with the same authentication type.

Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower.

Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

Default Key: It's the key used to encrypt data.

Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.

64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.

128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.

Click at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.

WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. The encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available.

WPA-RADIUS Encryption

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during communication.

It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. Press button when you are done.

- Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) from your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open unrestricted two-way Internet access for this client by defining a Virtual DMZ Host.

- Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference ...etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule “Others”.

Priority Queue

This can put the packets of specific protocols in High/Low Queue. The packets in High Queue will process first.

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. Also important is making sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail.
