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.)

Tx Power: Select the proper Tx power in the drop-down list.

Beacon Interval: Set the beacon interval for the wireless router. The wireless router

sends the Beacon message periodically for synchronizing the wireless network.

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 packets

Preamble Mode: You can select the short preamble or the long preamble. The long

preamble can realize the interactive operation with the 1Mbps and 2Mbps data

rates of 802.11. The short preamble adopts the minimum header and the data rate

is faster. If the signal strength is weak, the short preamble is recommended.

CTS Mode: You may select No, Always , and Auto . CTS mode can avoid data

conflict and data loss.
