The following gives more info about the parameters set in the Wireless LAN
information page to users.
rts Threshold
The setting determines the packet size, ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes, at
which the bridge issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet.
A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client
devices are associating with the access point, or in areas where the clients
are far apart and can detect only the bridge and not each other.
frag Threshold
The setting determines the size, ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes, at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block).
Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a
great deal of radio interference.
SSID
The Service Set ID (SSID) can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry
from 2 to 32 characters long. This string functions as a password to join the
radio network.
Hide SSID
Use this setting to decide whether devices that do not specify an SSID are
allowed to associate with the access point or not. With “Yes” selected, the
SSID used by other devices must match exactly the AP’s SSID.
Deny Any
Use this setting to decide whether devices that specify the well define
SSID keyword ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ are allowed to associate with the access
point or not. With “Yes” selected, the SSID ‘ANY’ or ‘any’ used by other
devices are not allowed to associate with the access point
Station Name
Enter any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry.
WEP Key
Enter 1~15 characters for 64 and 128 bits WEP KEY encryption, and then
click KeyGen to generate the WEP64 & WEP128 key patterns
automatically.
