MODEM ROUTER USER MANUAL - Warranty Life

Fragmentation
Threshold
• Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will
change its authentication type automatically to fulfill a
client’s requirement.
Fragment Threshold 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 bad
performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.
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 wireless
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.
Beacon Interval This is the interval of time that this wireless router
broadcasts a beacon, which is used to synchronize the
wireless network. The range for the beacon period is 20
to 1024, with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).
Data Rate This setting depends on the speed of your wireless
network. You should select from a range of transmission
speeds, or you can select “Auto” to have the wireless
router automatically use the fastest possible data rate
and enable the Auto-Fallback feature, which negotiates
the best possible connection speed between the router
and a wireless client. The default setting is “Auto.”
Preamble Type This defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy
Check) block for communication between the router and
wireless stations. Make sure to select the appropriate
preamble type. Note that high network traffic areas
should use “Short Preamble.” CRC is a common
technique for detecting data transmission errors.
Broadcast SSID If this option is enabled, the router will automatically
