Tx Rate: There are several options in the drop-down menu: “Auto” and a range of speeds from “1 Mbps” to “54 Mbps.” When “Auto” is selected, the device automatically chooses the most suitable transmission rate. The higher the data rate designated in the network, the shorter the distance allowed between the adapter and the wireless stations. When the wireless mode is “802.11 B Only,” the maximum data rate is 11 Mbps (11b), making only “Auto,” “1 Mbps,” “2 Mbps,” “5.5 Mbps” and “11 Mbps” available as options.

Channel: Select the number of the radio channel used by the access point. Any wireless adapters connected to the AP should be set up with the same channel.
