"Preamble Type" offers a dropdown list with three options: Auto, Long, or Short.
see "Terminology" on page 38 for an explanation of "Preamble Type."
If you aren't sure whether all the Clients and Access point radios in your wireless
network support the Short RF preamble, then leave this setting on "Auto"
(Default).

"Rate (Mbps)" is the data transmission/reception rate setting. It can be set to
Auto, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, or 11 Mbps. Usually this should be set to Auto.
In a radio frequency hostile environment, a lower rate can provide more stable
transmission quality.
5.
Set the "RTS Threshold" (the default 2,347 means "Disabled") to the same as
that used by other devices in your network (see "Terminology" on page 38 for a
description of "RTS Threshold)."
