ACK Mode, QoS Switch, Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Page 52 highlights

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface ACK Mode There are two acknowledgement (ACK) modes that can be employed to get the best multimedia performance on your network: Burst ACK and Immediate ACK. Immediate ACK is the default (factory) setting and is recommended for normal network operation. Changing the ACK mode from Immediate ACK to Burst ACK may affect long-range throughput. Use Immediate ACK when long-range performance of your network is most important to you. Burst ACK mode will lower overhead by not acknowledging every packet sent over the network. When there is a very good link between the Router and the client, Burst ACK can provide a throughput boost. If an application, such as streaming multiple high-data video streams, requires maximum bandwidth, use Burst ACK mode. Keep in mind that long-range performance may be affected when using Burst ACK mode. QoS Switch Allows you to turn ON or OFF QoS. Changing the Wireless Security Settings Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called WPA (Wireless Protected Access). It also supports the legacy security standard called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you will need to determine which standard you want to use. To access the security settings, click "Security" on the "Wireless" tab. 50

ACK Mode
There are two acknowledgement (ACK) modes that can be employed
to get the best multimedia performance on your network: Burst ACK
and Immediate ACK.
Immediate ACK is the default (factory) setting and is recommended
for normal network operation. Changing the ACK mode from
Immediate ACK to Burst ACK may affect long-range throughput.
Use Immediate ACK when long-range performance of your network
is most important to you.
Burst ACK mode will lower overhead by not acknowledging every
packet sent over the network. When there is a very good link between
the Router and the client, Burst ACK can provide a throughput boost.
If an application, such as streaming multiple high-data video streams,
requires maximum bandwidth, use Burst ACK mode. Keep in mind that
long-range performance may be affected when using Burst ACK mode.
QoS Switch
Allows you to turn ON or OFF QoS.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called WPA
(Wireless Protected Access). It also supports the legacy security
standard called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless
security is disabled. To enable security, you will need to determine
which standard you want to use. To access the security settings, click
“Security” on the “Wireless” tab.
