RTS Threshold: This is the minimum packet size required for an RTS (request to send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes. NOTE: A minor change is recommended. Fragment Threshold: This value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you’ve decreased this value and experience high packet

It provides a high level of assurance to enterprises, small businesses and home users that data will remain protected and that only authorized users may access their networks. For enterprises that have already deployed IEEE 802.1x authentication, WPA offers the advantage of leveraging existing authentication databases and infrastructure. • WPA-PSK: This is a special mode designed for home and small business users who do not have access

• WEP: Enables the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you need to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. • TKIP: The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the standard WEP security. • AES: AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information. It’s the most advanced solution defined
