Wireless Mode | 802.11 B/G mix – If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g |
| wireless stations in your network, it is recommended to setting the |
| card to this mode. This mode is also the default setting. |
| 802.11 B or G only – This card can be compatible with both |
| 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11b |
| wireless stations in the network, you can set the card to this mode. |
| The same goes with 802.11g only wireless stations. |
Turbo Mode | Turbo Mode enables the card to deliver the better throughput in |
| the same period and environment. |
B/G Protection | If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations in the |
| network, it is recommended that you enable the protection |
| mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data |
| collisions between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When |
| the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the card will be |
| a little lower due to more complex data packets that must be |
| transmitted. |
| Auto – Based on the status of the network and automatically |
| disable/enable protection mode. |
| On – Always enable the protection mode. |
| Off – Always disable the protection mode. |
Fast Roaming | These settings should only be used for advanced system |
| administrators only. |

Tx Rate | There are several options including |
| Auto/1/2/5.5/11/6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps for you to select. |
| When the “Auto” is selected, the device will choose the most |
| suitable transmission rate automatically. The higher data rate you |
| designated in the network, the shorter distance is allowed |
| between the card and the wireless stations. |
| When the wireless mode is “802.11 B only”, the maximum data |
| rate is 11Mbps (11b) so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps” |
| options you can select. |
Turn Off RF Button | If you want to turn off the radio of the card temporarily, click this |
| button. To turn on the radio, click this button again. |
