Setting a higher value will cause the radio to attempt to establish at
the highest possible data rate in an aggressive way. A smaller
"Throughput Optimizer" value means a more stable link.
Note: The default value for the Throughput Optimizer is 6. Vary the
Throughput Optimizer settings to achieve a more stable link.
