Data Rate: If you would like to force a data rate, you may select one from the drop‐down list.
However, for best performance it is recommended to use the Auto setting.
Transmit Power: You may have the different application distance of the device by selecting a
value from the drop‐down list. This feature can be helpful in restricting the coverage area of the
wireless network.
Fragment: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to improve performance
on noisy networks.
RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to maintain
performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from degrading the performance.
Protection Mode: If your wireless network is using both 802.11b and 802.g devices then it is
recommended to enable this feature so that the 802.11b devices will not degrade the
performance of 802.11g devices.
