[. . . ] You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router. Fragment Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Beacon Interval: is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets. N Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed. 16 Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used. Preamble Type: The "Long Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the "Short Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN performance. CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802. 11b and 802. 11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is transmitted. TX Power: This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power. Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802. 1x, IEEE 802. 1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key. ESSID Selection: This broadband router support multiple ESSID, you could select and set up the wanted ESSID. Broadcast ESSID: If you enabled "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security. WMM: Wi-Fi MultiMedia if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications. Encryption: When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate TEW-670AP. 17 WEP Encryption When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data.
