than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not
be enabled. The AP sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.
After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to
Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Xmit Power
This value ranges from 1 - 100 percent, default value is 100 percent.
A safe increase of up to 60 percent would be suitable for most users.
Higher power settings are not recommended for users due to excess
heat generated by the radio chipset, which can affect the life of the AP.
Wireless Network
Mode
If you have Wireless-G and 802.11b devices in your network, then
keep the default setting, BG Mixed mode. If you have only
Wireless-G devices, select G Mode. If you would like to limit your
network to only 802.11b devices, then select B Mode.
Transmission
Rate
The default setting is
Auto
. The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The
rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your
wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission
speeds, or keep the default setting, Auto, to have the AP automatically
use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection
speed between the AP and a wireless client.
Preamble
Values are Long and Short, default value is Long. If your wireless
device supports the short preamble and you are having trouble getting
it to communicate with other 802.11b devices, make sure that it is set
to use the long preamble
SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to
associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the AP. To
broadcast the AP SSID, keep the default setting, Enable. If you do
not want to broadcast the AP SSID, then select Disable.
