DESCRIPTION

Fragmentation

A small fragmentation threshold is recommended for busy networks, while a

Threshold

larger threshold provides faster performance if the network is not very busy.

 

 

Roaming

If you have two or more NWAs (or other wireless access points) on your

 

wireless network, you can enable this option so that wireless devices can

 

change locations without having to log in again. This is useful for devices,

 

such as notebooks, that move around a lot.

 

 

Antenna

An antenna couples Radio Frequency (RF) signals onto air. A transmitter

 

within a wireless device sends an RF signal to the antenna, which

 

propagates the signal through the air. The antenna also operates in reverse

 

by capturing RF signals from the air.

 

Positioning the antennas properly increases the range and coverage area of

 

a wireless LAN.
