Output Power

Set the output power of the P-870HN-51D. If there is a high density of

 

 

APs in an area, decrease the output power to reduce interference with

 

 

other APs. Select one of the following 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% or

Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS

 

 

handshake. This helps improve IEEE 802.11g performance.

 

 

Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your P-

 

 

870HN-51D might be reduced in a mixed-mode network.
