Transfer Rate

In most networking scenarios, the factory default Fully Auto setting is the most

 

efficient and allows your G-220 v3 to operate at the highest possible transmission

 

(data) rate.

 

If you want to select a specific transmission rate, select one that the AP or peer

 

wireless device supports.

 

Note: With USB1.0/1.1, the G-220 v3 can only transmit at up to

 

11Mbps.

Vista.

Preamble Type

Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Select the preamble

 

type that the AP uses.

 

Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means

 

more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless adapters

 

support Long preamble, but not all support short preamble.

 

Select Auto to have the G-220 v3 automatically use short preamble when all

 

access point or wireless stations support it; otherwise the G-220 v3 uses long

 

preamble.

 

Note: The G-220 v3 and the access point or wireless stations

 

MUST use the same preamble mode in order to

 

communicate.
