RTS Threshold

The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is set to Enabled,

you can adjust the value between 0 to 3000. RTS threshold is a mechanism

implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden Node” is a situation

in which two stations are within range of the same access point, but are not within

range of each other. Thus, it provides a solution to prevent data collisions. Enabling

RTS Threshold may cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect

the throughput performance.

Fragment Threshold

The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is set to Enabled,

you can adjust the value between 256 to 2346. Fragmentation mechanism is used

for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If

your wireless devices often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enable

the Fragmentation Threshold and the mechanism will split the packet to send.

2.2.2 Encryption

The Encryption tab is used to equip an additional measure of security on your

wireless network, which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy) encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data

transmitted over the network, WEP can support high secure data encryption. WEP

encrypts each frame transmitted through the radio by using one of the Keys

entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received, it will only be

accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the same

WEP Key used by the transmitter. The Encryption tab contains some fields as
