Operation Mode

Performance Enhancement

WR850GP only

Enables you to select the type of transmission protocol your wireless network uses.

The options are:

Compatibility (802.11b/g) – default setting Performance (802.11g only)

Legacy (802.11b only)

When enabled, the wireless data throughput of a WR850GP router is boosted when used exclusively with Performance Enhanced client devices, such as the WN825GP Wireless Notebook Adapters and/or WPCI810GP Wireless PCI Adapters.

1From Operation Mode (see above), select Compatibility (802.11b/g) or Performance (802.11g only) to allow access to this feature.

2Check Performance Enhancement Enabled.

When the Performance Enhancement feature is enabled, the wireless network can still support non-Performance Enhanced client devices, including standard 802.11g and/or 802.11b devices. Under these conditions the network steps down to support full backward compatibility.

If you enable Performance Enhancement, it is recommended that you also enable Frame Bursting in the Wireless > Advanced screen. See Advanced Wireless Configuration for more information.
