Data Rate | The “Data Rate” is the rate this access point |
| uses to transmit data packets. The access point |
| will use the highest possible selected |
| transmission rate to transmit the data packets. |
Preamble Type | The “Long Preamble” can provide better |
| wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short |
| Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN |
| performance. |
Broadcast ESSID | If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless |
| station located within the coverage of this |
| access point can discover this access point |
| easily. If you are building a public wireless |
| network, enabling this feature is recommended. |
| Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better |
| security. |
CTS Protection | It is recommended to enable the protection |
| mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the |
| rate of data collision between 802.11b and |
| 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection |
| mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will |
| be a little lower due to many of frame traffic |
| should be transmitted. |
