    DONE BY AN AUTHORIZED ADMINISTRATOR. Transmission Rate (Transfer Rate) The TEW-812DRU provides various transmission (data) rate options for you to select. In most networking scenarios, the factory default Best (automatic) setting proves the most efficient. This setting allows your TEW-812DRU to operate at the maximum transmission (data) rate. When the communication quality drops below a certain level, the TEW-812DRU automatically switches to a lower transmission (data) rate.
  • Page 12 When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic Service Set (BSS). In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.
