Long Preamble
Packet-OVERDRIVE
TX Power
WMM Capable
APSD Capable
This option is to define the length of the sync field in an
802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short
preamble with 56 bit sync field instead of long preamble
with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b
wireless network devices only support long preamble. Click
Enable to use Long Preamble if needed to communicate
with this kind of devices.
This feature can enhance the performance in data
transmission about 40%* more (by checking Tx Burst). It
is active only when both sides of Access Point and Station
(in wireless client) invoke this function at the same time.
That is, the wireless client must support this feature and
invoke the function, too.
Note: Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.
Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for
matching with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following
picture of Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose
Enable for TxBURST on the tab of Option).
Note: * means the real transmission rate depends on the
environment of the network.
Set the power percentage for transmission signal of access
point. The greater the value is, the higher intensity of the
signal will be.
WMM is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines
the priority levels for four access categories derived from
802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed
with specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and
low priority data. There are four accessing categories -
AC_BE , AC_BK, AC_VI and AC_VO for WMM.
To apply WMM parameters for wireless data transmission,
please click the Enable radio button.
APSD (automatic power-save delivery) is an enhancement
over the power-save mechanisms supported by Wi-Fi
networks. It allows devices to take more time in sleeping
