Check Diversity Antenna if you have a dual antenna on your WLAN adapter
card. Diversity can improve communication in highly reflective environments. Do
not check this if you do not have a dual antenna WLAN adapter card or a secondary
antenna, as this can cause poor wireless network performance.
In the Radio Link Rate section, select 1MB Support to communicate only at 1MB
per second. Select 2MB Support to communicate at only 2MB per second. Select
Both 1MB and 2MB Support to communicate at the best available data rate.
If you select 2MB and have only a 1MB WLAN adapter, the adapter only
communicates at 1MB. On Spring adapter cards, this option is disabled, and
defaults to 1MB.
