Configuring Wireless LAN Parameters

The default advanced wireless LAN parameter settings usually work well. If you want the AP to
operate in Supger-G mode, use this feature.

Description
The packet size used to determine whether it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) or the CSMA/CA (Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet
transmission.
This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets larger than
the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
Specifies the data beacon rate between 20 and 1004.
The Delivery Traffic Indication Message specifies the data beacon rate between
1 and 255.
A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble gives better performance. Long is the
default
Select the desired antenna for transmitting and receiving. Auto is the default.
