Property Description 802.11 Power, Save, Rate Mbps

Property		Description

802.11	Power	Enable the function to allow the
Save		Adapter		to	go	to	sleep		mode,
		during which data communication
		could be interrupted.
Fragmentation		To fragment MSDU or MMPDU
		into small sizes of frames for
Threshold
		increasing the reliability of frame
		(The maximum value of 2346
		means		no	fragmentation					is
		needed)		transmission.						The
		performance will be decreased as
		well, thus a noisy environment is
		recommended.
Preamble Type		A preamble is a signal used in
		wireless			environment					to

		synchronize			the		transmitting
		timing including Synchronization
		and Start frame delimiter.
~ Long		IF	in	a	"noisy"			network
		environment,			the Preamble Type

		should be set to Long.
~ Short		The	Short preamble is intended
		for	applications where					minimum

		overhead			and			maximum
		performance is desired. If in a
		"noisy" network environment, the
		performance would be decreased.
~ Auto		Select Auto for the USB adapter
		to select the Preamble type

		automatically			depending				on	the
		Access Point Preamble type.
Rate (Mbps)		It shows the current transfer rate.
		(1, 2, 5.5, or 11Mbps or Auto)


RTS Threshold		This value should remain at its
		default		setting		of 2347.			Should
		you	encounter			inconsistent				data
		flow, only minor modifications of
		this value are recommended.
