LAN IP settings can be assigned automatically using the DHCP or PPPoE. If PPPoE
mode is selected, the Username and Password credentials are required for PPPoE
authentication.

Advanced
The Advanced options page allows you to manage advanced settings that influence on
the device performance and behavior.
Advanced Wireless Settings
The advanced wireless settings are dedicated for more technically advanced users who
have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN technology. These settings should not
be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your device.

Rate Algorithm: defines data rate algorithm convergence:
Optimistic Algorithm is aggressive enough to move to a higher rate but yet tries to
conservatively capture the fluctuations of the RSSI. It starts with the highest possible
rate and then decreases till the rate can be supported while periodically transmitting
packets at higher rates and computing the transmission time.
Conservative Algorithm is less sensitive to individual packet failure as it is based
on a function of number of successful and erroneous transmission/retransmission
over a sampling period. It steps down to a lower rate after continuous packet failure
and steps up after number of successful packets.
RTS Threshold: determines the packet size of a transmission and, through the use of
an access point, helps control traffic flow. The range is 0-2347bytes, or word “off”. The
default value is 2347 which means that RTS is disabled.
Fragmentation Threshold: specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is
fragmented into multiple packets. The range is 256-2346 bytes, or word “off”. Setting the
Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended while default setting of 2346 should remain
in most of the cases.
