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. Enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes.

- Frag Threshold. This setting determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Enter a setting
ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes. Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference.

- WEP. Disable or enable 64/128 bit WEP services.
- Default Key. Select an encryption key from the pull down menu.
- WEP64 Key1~4 & WEP128 Key1~4. The keys in these fields can be
generated automatically by KeyGen function. For 40-bit encryption, enter
10 hexadecimal digits; for 128-bit encryption, enter 26 hexadecimal digits.
Hexadecimal digits include the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A
through F. Your 40-bit WEP keys can contain any combination of 10
of these characters; your 128-bit WEP keys can contain any combination of
26 of these characters. The letters are not case-sensitive.
