Performance
Select the transmission rate for the network.
Choose 100%l, 50%(-3dB), 25% (-6dB),
12.5% (-9dB), minimum power.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2,346. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase
your fragmentation threshold within the value range of 256 to 2,346. Setting the fragmentation threshold too low may
result in poor performance.
TX Rates:
Transmit Power:
Beacon Interval:
Fragmentation:
Beacons are packets sent by an access point
to synchronize a wireless network. Specify
a beacon interval value. Default (100) is
recommended.
DTIM Interval
(Beacon Rate):
Mode Setting:
Preamble:
(Delivery Trafc Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 255 (default is 3) for the Delivery Trafc Indication
Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages.
For utmost speed, select G Mode to include only 802.11g devices in your network. Select Mix Mode to include 802.11g
and 802.11b devices in your network.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting
of 2,432. If you encounter inconsistent
data ow, only minor modications to the
value range between 256 and 2,432 are
recommended.
Long Preamble is the default setting. (High trafc networks should use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble denes
the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors)
used in communication between the access point and the wireless network adapters.
