Field		Description

Enable SuperG Mode		Click Enable to enable SuperG Mode.
RTS Threshold		The packet size used to determine whether it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier
		Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the CSMA/CA (Carrier
		Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet
		transmission.
Fragmentation Length		This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than
		the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
		value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
Beacon Interval		Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 1004.
DTIM Interval		The Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the data beacon rate between
		1 and 255.
Preamble Type		A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
		longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Long is the
		default
Antenna		Select the desired antenna for transmitting and receiving. Auto is the default.
