[. . . ] CTS Protect: Enabling this setting will reduce the chance of radio signal collisions between 802. 11b and 802. 11g/n wireless access points. It's recommended to set this option to "Auto" or "Always". However, if you set to "None", your wireless router should be able to work fine, too. Tx Power: You can set the output power of wireless radio. Unless you're using this wireless router in a really big space, you may not have to set output power to 100%. This will enhance security (malicious / unknown users in distance will not be able to reach your wireless router). WMM: The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data transfer performance of multimedia contents when they're being transferred over wireless network. If you don't know what it is / not sure if you need it, it's safe to set this option to "Enable", however, default value is "Disable". After you finish these wireless settings, please click "Apply" button, button, and the following message will be displayed on your web browser: Please click "Continue" to back to previous setup menu; to continue on router setup, or click "Apply" to reboot the router so the settings will take effect (Please wait for about 30 seconds while router is rebooting). 2-7-3. Wireless Security It's very important to set wireless security settings properly!If you don't, hackers and malicious users can reach your network and valuable data without your consent and this will cause serious security problem. To set wireless security settings, Please click "Wireless" menu on the left of web management interface, then click "Security Settings", then follow the following instructions to set wireless security settings: 46 Please select an encryption method from "Encryption" dropdown menu, there are four options: 2-7-3-1. Disable wireless security When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless device in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control - see section 2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast). Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your wireless router, and you don't care if there's someone reads the data you transfer over network without your consent. 2-7-3-2. WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and the following setup menu will be shown on your web browser: Key Length: There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using "128-bit" is safer than "64-bit", but will reduce some data transfer performance. Key Format: There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select "64-bit" as key length, and "Hex" as key format, you'll see the message at the right of "Key Format" is "Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters. Default Tx Key: You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which key is being used by default here. If you don't know which 47 one you should use, select "Key 1". Encryption Key 1 to 4 (5-8): Input WEP key characters here, the number of characters must be the same as the number displayed at "Key Format" field. [. . . ] MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product's serial number. [. . . ]
