The Advanced Settings screen is shown below:
Figure 4-12: Advanced Settings
The following options are available:
• Power Saving: Choices are Off, Maximum, or Dynamic.
• Preamble: A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble might give slightly better performance. Choices are
Long, Short, or Auto.
• Transmit Rate: Lowering the output power level lets you reduce the chance of interference
with other nearby access points, but reduces the range of your adapter. The rate can be from 1
Mbps to 54 Mbps.
• Wireless Mode: Select the wireless protocols you will use. Depending on your wireless
adapter, you can choose one or both of the available 802.11 wireless protocols.
• RTS/CTS Threshold: RTS is request to send and CTS is clear to send; their purpose is to
avoid collisions. RTS/CTS will be enabled if the data frame size is larger than the threshold
value set here. The maximum frame size is 2346 octets, so if the threshold is 2346, RTS/CTS
will be disabled.
Note: This setting is reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not
change this setting unless you are sure you need to. The primary reason for implementing
RTS/CTS is to minimize collisions between hidden stations. This occurs when users and
access points are spread out and a high number of retransmissions occur on the wireless LAN.
