THE ADVANCED TAB
Before making any changes to the Advanced tab, please check your wireless
settings on other systems, as these changes will alter the effectiveness of the
Wireless Network Access Point. In most cases, these settings do not need to be
changed.
• Fragmentation Threshold. This value indicates how much of the Access
Point’s resources are devoted to recovering packet errors. The value should
remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you have decreased this value and
experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but it will like-
ly decrease overall network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
• RTS Threshold. This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are
recommended.

THE BASIC SETTING TAB
The Access Point automatically detects the settings to your wireless network.
Changing these values will alter your current wireless network configuration.
• ESSID. The ESSID or SSID is the unique name shared among all points in
a wireless network. The ESSID must be identical for all points in the wire-
less network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 30 characters, which
may be any keyboard character. Make sure this setting for all points in the
wireless network are the same. Verify that you’re using the correct ESSID
and click the Apply button to set it.
• Channel. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to corre-
spond with your network settings, between 1 and 11 (in North America). All
points in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to func-
tion correctly. Verify that the correct channel is selected and click the Apply
button to set it. A new dialog box will appear. Click the Yes button to accept
the changes.
• Access Point Name. You may assign any name to your Access Point.
Unique, memorable names are helpful, especially if you are employing
multiple Access Points on the same network.
