Note:
The number of available channels is not identical for all devices. You
should therefore also refer to the technical documentation for your
product. As a rule, channels 1 to 11 are usually available.
• Transmission Rate
The transmission rate should be adapted to your wireless network. As
a rule, the setting Best (automatic) is sufficient. Under certain circum-
stances, however, it is necessary to change this setting.
If you make changes here, please observe: The range of a wireless net-
work decreases with higher data rates and increases with lower data
rates.
• Best (automatic)
Automatic fallback according to the quality of the connection,
starting with 11 or 54 Mbps. This is the recommended setting.
• Fixed x Mbps
Sets a fixed data rate. Fixed 1 Mbps can be used to optimize the
range for lower data rates. Fixed 11 Mbps can be used to optimize
the throughput for lower ranges. Fixed 11 Mbps makes sense only

nication partners and uses 802.11g or 802.11b. All WLAN devices

• Transmit Power
Allows you to set the maximum value for the radiated antenna power.
The actually radiated antenna power may be lower than the maxi-
mum value set, depending on the data rate transmitted. The maxi-
