 Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated.  If you do not have any wireless, both 

802.11g and 802.11b, device in your network, select Deactived.  

 SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished 

from another.  For security propose, change the default wlan-ap to a unique ID name to the 

AP which is already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must 

not excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the 

device, in order to get connected to your network. 

 

 

Select  Yes  to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID 

through passive scanning. Select No to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the 

SSID through passive scanning. 

 

The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices is 

called a channel. Select a channel from the drop-down list box. 

 Authentication Type: To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data 

transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as 

WEP.&WPA. If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to 

select from: 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 

64. 

You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network. The default 

type of wireless is disabled and to allow all wireless computers to communicate with the 

access points without any data encryption 

 

Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the 

beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router 

to synchronize the wireless network.

 

The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for 

enabling RTS/CTS handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform 

the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC 

service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to zero turns 

on the RTS/CTS handshake Enter a value between 1500 and 2347.. 

 

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation 

boundary for directed messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. 

Enter a value between 256 and 2346. 

DMIT: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic 

Indication Message (DTIM). 

 802.11b/g: The default setting is 802.11b+g (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have
