Chapter 4 Creating a Wireless Network
Network
Select the type of connection being configured from this drop-down list
(options: Network [Home/Office], Broadband Connection, or DMZ).
MTU
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) specifies the largest packet size permit-
ted for Internet transmission. “Automatic” sets the MTU at 1500. Other choices
include “Automatic by DHCP,” which sets the MTU according to the DHCP con-
nection, and “Manual,” which allows the user to set the MTU.
Transmission Rate
Select the wireless transmission rate from the drop-down list, or select “Auto”
to have the Router automatically select the best transmission rate. This setting
adjusts the bit rate of the Router’s wireless transmissions.
CTS Protection Mode
Activating CTS (Clear to Send) Protection Mode allows mixed 802.11b/g net-
works to operate at maximum efficiency. Select “Auto” from the drop-down list
to activate. Select “None” to deactivate .
Beacon Interval
Beacons are transmitted by the Router to help identify wireless networks. If bea-
cons are transmitted too infrequently, networks may become hard to reach; if
too frequently, they become a resource waste. Enter the desired beacon interval
value (in milliseconds) in this text box.
DTIM Interval
Enter the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) interval value (in mil-
liseconds) in this text box. A DTIM is a countdown mechanism for the Router,
informing wireless network clients of the next window for listening to broadcast
and multicast messages.
