Data Rate By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest 
possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to 
be used among the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 
11or 54 Mbps. For most networks the default setting is 
Auto which is the best choice. When  Autois enabled 
the transmission rate will select the optimal rate. If 
obstacles or interference ar e present, the system will 
automatically fall back to a lower rate. 
Preamble Type A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to 
synchronize the transmitting timing including 
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a “noisy” 
network environment, the Preamble Type should be 
set to Long Preamble . The Short Preamble  is 
intended for applications where minimum overhead 
and maximum performance is desired. If in a “noisy” 
network environment, t he performance will be 
decreased. 
Hide SSID Select  enabled to allow all the wireless stations to hide 
the SSID of this router. 
  
Tx Burst Select the check box to enable the Tx Burst function. 
802.11g Protection The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to 
ensure mixed 802.11b and 802.11g  operations. If there is no 
such kind of mechanism exists, the two kinds of standards 
may mutually interfere and decrease network’s performance.  
Tx Power Level  Totally have 6 Tx Power Level, default is Level one 
you can select Level2~Level6 to reduce the Tx Power 
 
AckTimeOut Maximum time, in microsec onds, that the failover 
daemon will wait for an ACK or NOACK message to be 
received from the peer failover daemon. For each

Here you can configure the security of your wireless network. Selecting different 
method will enable you to have different level of security.  Please note that by 
using any encryption, by which data pack et is encrypted before transmission to 
prevent data packets from being eavesdropped by unrelated people, there may 
be a significant degradation of the data  throughput on the wireless link.

SSID  The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another; 
therefore, all access points and all devices 
attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must 
use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and 
must not exceed 32 characters.  A device will not 
be permitted to join the BSS unless it can 
provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also 
referred to as a network name because 
essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless 
network.
