DESCRIPTION
In most networking scenarios, the factory default Fully Auto setting is the most
efficient and allows your G-220 v2 to operate at the highest possible transmission
(data) rate.
If you want to select a specific transmission rate, select one that the AP or peer
wireless device supports.
Note: With USB1.0/1.1, the G-220 v2 can only transmit at up to
11Mbps.
Note: At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows
Vista.
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Select the preamble
type that the AP uses.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless adapters
support Long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select Auto to have the G-220 v2 automatically use short preamble when all
access point or wireless stations support it; otherwise the G-220 v2 uses long
preamble.
Note: The G-220 v2 and the access point or wireless stations
MUST use the same preamble mode in order to
communicate.
Note: At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows
Vista.
