Sets the network mode. Max
compatibility interoperates with the
widest variety of 54g and 802.11b
clients. 54g only accepts 54g clients.
Max performance provides the
highest throughout and accepts only
54g clients; nearby 802.11b networks
may have degraded performance.
In Auto mode, the AP will use RTS/CTS
to improve 802.11g performance in
mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks. Turn
protection Off to maximize 802.11g
throughput under most conditions.
Forces the transmission rate for the AP
to a particular speed.
Sets the output power relative to the
hardware's maximum capability.
Sets the beacon interval for the AP.
Sets the wakeup interval for clients in
power-save mode
Sets the fragmentation threshold.
Sets the RTS threshold.
