Name given to the profile. Any user can add 10 maximum different profiles if he wish.
Defaults
Pressing this button restores each field in the panel to its default value. The default value for
each field as below.
Basic
SSID
The name of the SSID (Service Set Identification) associated with the profile. The default
value is “ANY”, This allows your wireless client to automatically associate to any access
point in the vicinity of your wireless client.
Mode
This field allows you to select from a list of supported network mode. The modes displayed
will have “Access Point” and “Peer-to-Peer. The default value is “Access Point”.
Current Tx Rate
The transmission rate at which the data packets are transmitted by client of access point. You
can set this to 1Mbps, 2Mbps, Auto 1 or 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, Fully Automatic. The
default value is “Fully Automatic”.
Peer-to-Peer Channel
Changing the channel is only effective in Ad-Hoc networks. Networking operating
infrastructure mode automatically scan for a channel. Be aware that when the peer-to-peer
mode is selected, be sure to set your wireless stations with the same channel.
Power Saving Mode
The field allows you to set enable or disable. Power saving mode reduced energy usage by
temporarily disconnecting wireless connections when the connection is idle. The default value
is “Disable”.
Advance
RTS Threshold
The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is enable, you can set the value
ranging from 0 to 2432. 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.
Frag Threshold
The field allows you to set enable or disable. When the field is enable, you can set the value
ranging from 256 to 2432. 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.
