NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration 4-5
v1.0, May 2006
Table 4-1 describes the Advanced Wireless Parameters.
Modifying QoS Queue Parameters
Figure 4-3 also shows the Quality of Service (QoS) queue section on the Advanced Wireless
Settings page. For most networks, the default QoS queue parameter settings work well.Quality of
Service provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased
throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic, like Voice-over-IP (VoIP),
other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data.
The QoS options on the WG302v2 are as follows:
• Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM): Select Yes or No as required on the Advanced Wireless
Settings menu. The default is No.
WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of
priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio,
has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients must
also support WMM. If WMM is disabled, you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters.
• SpectraLink Enabled: With SpectraLink enabled, SVP traffic takes priority over all other
traffic. The default is always enabled.

Field Description
Enable SuperG Mode Click Enable to enable Super G Mode.
RTS Threshold The packet size used to determine whether the access point should use the
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism
for packet transmission.
Fragmentation Length This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than
the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
Beacon Interval Specifies the data beacon rate, which is between 20 and 1004.
DTIM Interval The Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the data beacon rate, which is
between 1 and 255.
Preamble Type A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance.
Antenna Select the antenna to use for transmitting and receiving. The antennas are
labeled on the rear panel. The default is Auto.
