If you don't know, you don't need to touch them. And even if you do, you still probably wouldn't.
802.11d is most likely irrelevant to you unless you're going international on us.
What I assume for the one on the right is that it's a setting for RTS/CTS or something else related to collision avoidance. If so, it's something you could potentially use to reduce signal corruption if the router supports it...but if things are working fine, then there's no need to mess with it.
I lose my signal from time to time (when I'm home leeching off neighbors) so really just trying to improve that. The card in my laptop connects to dlink just fine, has more bars, but never provides internet. My usb card gets 1 card off of that same connection and is just slow/sometimes loses that 1 bar.
Edit: Anyone have an easy to follow guide to crack wep? If I can get that going, then some of these ppl have 3-4 bars
google returned a ton of decent looking guides, such as http://lifehacker.com/5305094/how-to...with-backtrack
Most of them involve booting off a linux live cd
That's how i've always done it. It's very simple, and shouldn't take more than a minute or two. Just save the commands to a text file, and paste them in. Backtrack has everything you need built in.
