Wireless ON/OFF
Wireless signal transmission can be switched on/off independently for
the 802.11b (2.4 GHz) and 802.11a (5 GHz) bands. Select the On/Off
status according to the environment you are in. Take special care if you
are using your computer in locations where radio emissions are
prohibited, such as outdoors (802.11a band) or within an aircraft
(802.11a and 802.11b bands). Be sure to set wireless signal
transmission to Off with these buttons in such cases.

"Streaming Mode" button
This button is shown only when using Windows XP. It allows you to
temporarily suspend the Windows XP wireless configuration functions
(Wireless Zero Configuration service) in order to optimize throughput
for real-time playback of streaming data.

Graph scale
This is a scale for transmission and reception link rate and throughput.
Normally, the transmission and reception throughput will be about half
the link rate.

Shows the signal level, RX link rate, and TX throughput. These
parameters are useful for finding the optimum location of computer
and Access Point, and for measuring throughput.

Clicking this button causes the computer to release the currently
assigned IP address and obtain a new IP address.
