wireless client can associate with this Range Extender by using any one
of these two authentication types.
Fragment Threshold “Fragment Threshold” specifies the maximum size of 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 Range
Extender will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
Beacon Interval The interval of time that this Range Extender broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
Data Rate The “Data Rate ” is the rate this Range Extender uses to transmit data
packets. The Range Extender will use the highest possible selected
transmission rate to transmit the data packets.
Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the
wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic
wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable
communication.
Broadcast ESSID If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless computer located within
the coverage of this Range Extender can discover this Range Extender
easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature
is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better
security.
IAPP If you enable “IAPP”, the Range Extender will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless computers to its neighbors. This will
help wireless computer roaming smoothly between Range Extenders. If
you have more than one Range Extenders in your wireless LAN and
wireless computers have roaming requirements, enabling this feature is
recommended. Disabling “IAPP” can provide better security.
802.11g Protection This is also called 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 computers. When the
