Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared

Fragment Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. It specifies the maximum size
for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high
packet error rate, you may slightly increases the “Fragment Threshold” value within
the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting this value too low may result in poor network
performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter
