5.Select the “Advanced” tab. You can choose the fragmentation threshold to define the maximum data frame size your adapter will transmit. When the packet error rate is high, you may set the threshold value to transmit shorter frames. You may select RTS/CTS threshold to define when will your adapter send out RTS/CTS frames to reserve bandwidth for transmission. By using the RTS/CTS function, you may request bandwidth from AP to allow you have better chance to send out your data. For the Security, it’s only applicable while WEP is enabled. For the Authentication Type, the current supported algorithms are Open System, Shared Key, and Auto. The algorithm will be invoked when associated to Access Point. To associate to the desired Access Point you must set the same algorithm as the one of the desired Access Point. When select Auto mode, the driver can auto detect the Authentication Type of the Access Point you are going to associate. You can also select Preamble Type, which is for framing synchronization. The possible setting are Long and Short. The setting must be the same as the setting of the Access Point you are going to associate.
