Power Saving Mode 

– Choose this item to get into the power 

saving status when there is no data passing through the access 
point.

 

RTS Threshold 

Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default 
value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347. 

Fragment Threshold 

Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify 
default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 
2346. 

Security Mode 

802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for authentication of 
wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication and Shared Key 
Authentication. 

Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If 
you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP 
information. 

OPEN 

– Open authentication is basically null authentication 

algorithm, which means that there is no verification of the 
user. 

SHARED 

– It works similar to Open authentication with only 

one major difference. If you choose OPEN with WEP 
encryption key, the WEP keys is used to encrypt and decrypt 
the data but not for authentication. In Shared key 
authentication, WEP encryption will be used for 
authentication. 

 

If you choose 

WPA-Personal 

or 

WPA2-Personal

, the 

corresponding WPA settings will be listed as follows. You 
have to choose the WPA algorithms and type the pass phrase 
for such security mode. 

WPA Algorithm

s – Choose Temporal Key Integrity Protocol 

(TKIP) or AES for data encryption. 

Pass Phrase 

– Please type 8 to 63 alphanumerical characters 

here. 

WEP 

WEP Key Length 

- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a 

common encryption mode. It is safe enough for home and 
personal use. However, if you need higher level of security, 
please consider using WPA encryption (see next section). 

Some wireless clients do not support WPA, but support WEP. 
Therefore WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such 
kind of client in your network environment. 

 

WEP Key Entry Method 

- There are two types of WEP key 

length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit, 
but it will reduce some data transfer performance.
