[. . . ] A maximum of 4 devices are allowed. Set Security: WDS Security depends on your AP security settings. Note: It does not support mixed mode such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed mode. www. encore-usa. com 44 Advanced Tab On this tab you can set the advanced wireless settings. If you're in doubt what to enter or use here, leave these settings as it is. Wrong parameters can make the router un-operational. Fragment Threshold: Default value is 2346. Specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in a bad performance. RTS Threshold: Default value is 2347. When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Beacon Interval: Default value is 100. This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. www. encore-usa. com 45 DTIM Period: Default value is 1. Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets. N Data Rate: The "Data Rate" is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed. Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used. Select "Auto 20/40 MHz" if you have wireless client using 802. 11n to connect to this router. Preamble Type: The "Long Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the "Short Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN performance. 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 stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a lower due to an increase of data frame transmission. TX Power: 10% to 100%. Default value is 100%. www. encore-usa. com 46 Security Tab ENHWI-3GN3 provides complete wireless LAN security types. Selections are WEP, IEEE 802. 1x, IEEE 802. 1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key or PSK and WPA with RADIUS. Make sure all other wireless stations use the same security type, and were setup with the same security key. ESSID Selection: The ENHWI-3GN3 router supports multiple ESSID, you can enter your desired wireless ESSID here. Broadcast ESSID: If you enabled "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station located within the coverage of this Router can see this ESSID. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. WMM: Wi-Fi Multi Media, if enabled, supports QoS to dedicate line and other resource for better audio, video and voice streaming to a particular station and applications. Encryption: If set to Disable, the router will have no protection against uninvited wireless guests, your LAN will be prone to hackers. [. . . ] Alternatively, you can use the "Restore to Factory Defaults" to force the Broadband router to perform a power reset and restore the original factory settings. Reset Tab You can software reset the broadband router when system stops responding or stop working. This is different from the hardware reset that can reset the settings by physically pressing the button. www. encore-usa. com 93 7.
