- RTS/CTS Threshold – Should remain at its default setting of 2,346. A preamble is a

signal used to synchronize the transmission timing between two or more systems. A series

of transmission pulses is sent before the data to indicate that “someone is about transmit

data.” This ensures that systems receiving the information correctly when the data

transmission starts.

- Shared Key – Is when both the sender and recipient share a secret key. Both units

use this key for an extended length of time, sometimes indefinitely. Any

eavesdropper that discovers the key may decipher all packets until the key is

changed.

- SOHO – Small Office Home Office

- SSID – Is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network. The

SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must

not exceed 32 characters.

- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) – The optional cryptographic confidentiality

algorithm specified by IEEE 802.11 provides data confidentiality that is subjectively

equivalent to the confidentiality of a wired local area network medium that does not

employ cryptographic techniques to enhance privacy.
