TCP/IP Settings
By default, the IP address of the wireless router is 192.168.2.1 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0.
It is recommended you set the network adapter to ‘Obtain an IP address
automatically’ so your PC could automatically acquire an IP address from the
wireless router. You can also manually set the TCP/IP properties of your PC’s
network adapter so that your PC can communicate with the wireless router.
You can manually set the network adapter by following these steps:
1. Right-click the My Network Places icon (e.g., Windows XP) and select
Properties in the menu. The Network Connections page appears.
2. Right-click the network adapter icon and select Properties in the menu. The
Local Area Connection Properties appears. (Note: If there are several
network cards on your PC, you would need to identify which network card is
connected to the wireless router.)

Beacon interval indicates the frequency of Beacon advertisement. The range is
20~1000ms. The default value is 100ms.
RTS Threshold: Set the RTS (Request to send threshold.) threshold. When the
packet size is large than the preset RTS size, the wireless router will send a RTS
to the destination station to start negotiation. When receiving the RTS frame, the
wireless station will send back a CTS frame to the wireless router, to indicate that
they can communicate with each other.
Fragment Threshold: Set the fragmentation threshold. Packets larger than the
fragmentation threshold size in this field will be fragmented. Too many data
