Description

Data Rates (Mb/sec)

		6.0	From the list, select one of the following for
			each of the four rates in megabits per second:
9.0
			• basic—Allows transmission at this rate
12.0
			for all packets, both unicast and
18.0
			multicast. At least one data rate must be
24.0			set to basic.
			• yes—Allows transmission at this rate for
36.0
			unicast packets only.
48.0
			• no—Does not allow transmission at this
54.0
			rate.
		Transmit Power	From the list, select one of the following
			milliwatt settings: 5, 10, 20, 40.
			To reduce interference or to conserve power,
			select a lower power setting.
			Click see details to see which versions this
			setting is valid for.
		Fragmentation Threshold	Enter a setting to determine the size at which
(256-2338)			packets are fragmented (sent as several
			pieces instead of as one block).
			Use a low setting in areas where
			communication is poor or where there is a
			great deal of radio interference.
		RTS Threshold (0-2339)	Enter a setting to determine the packet size at
			which the access point issues a request to
			send (RTS) before sending the packet.
			A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in
			areas where many client devices are
			associating with the access point, or in areas
			where the clients are far apart and can detect
			only the access point and not each other.
