wireless clients.
The Wireless AP will automatically assign itself a radio
channel, or you may select one manually. (Default: 6)
Increases the range of the Wireless AP.
(Default: Disable)
Characteristics
• More data frames per given
time period
• Standards-based
• Relevant to STA
• Real-time hardware data
compression
• Standards-based
Lempel-Ziv-Welch
compression method
• Utilizes frame aggregation
and timing modifications
Benefit
• Increase throughput via
overhead reduction
• 802.11e subset
• Advantage applies to any AP
• Increased data throughput
using compressed frames
• No impact on host processor
• Increases throughput by
transmitting more data per
frame
