(Package Data Unit) can increase the reliability of transmissions because it increases the probability
of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present, or
collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to send smaller fragments. This
will speed up the retransmission of smaller frames. However, it is more efficient to set the fragment
size larger if very little or no interference is present because it requires overhead to send multiple
frames. (Range: 256-2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes)

Authentication / Encryption: Configure authentication and encryption to match the security of the
wireless network.
The displayed items on this page can be described as follows:
Authentication: Select the authentication mode. For an infrastructure network, seven modes are
supported by the Wireless USB Adapter, including Open, Shared, LEAP, WPA and WPA-PSK, WPA2
and WPA2-PSK. For an ad hoc network, Open, Shared and WPA-None modes are supported.
Open: Open-system authentication accepts any client attempting to connect to the access point
without verifying its identity.
Shared: The shared-key approach uses Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) to verify client identity by
distributing a shared key to clients before attempting authentication.
LEAP: The Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is an EAP authentication type
used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated
WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication. When LEAP is select, input LEAP identity, password,
domain name, and select encryption type. Check the Show Password box to display password
characters as you type instead of asterisks.
