Data Rate

Select the transmit data rate (fix or auto). The data rates supported for the WLAN Cards are:

Fully Auto – The adapter will adjust to the most suitable transmission rate. Fixed – Fix data rate to 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps.

Config - Advanced

Click Advanced link on Config-Basic page to show this tab. This tab allows you to set up additional parameters for the wireless card. We recommend using the default values for all items in this window.

RTS Threshold (0-2347)

The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize

collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.

Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)

Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
