Rate Control
Vigor2820 Series User's Guide
This option is to define the length of the sync field in an
802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short
preamble with 56 bit sync filed instead of long preamble
with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b
wireless network devices only support long preamble.
Check it to use Long Preamble if needed to
communicate with this kind of devices.
This feature can enhance the performance in data
transmission about 40% for 11g (5% for 11n) by
checking Tx Burst. It is active only when both sides of
Access Point and Station (in wireless client) invoke this
function at the same time. That is, the wireless client
must support this feature and invoke the function, too.
Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for
matching with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the
following picture of Vigor N61 wireless utility window,
choose Enable for TxBURST on the tab of Option).
It controls the data transmission rate through wireless
connection.
Upload – Check Enable and type the transmitting rate for
data upload. Default value is 30,000 kbps.
