DESCRIPTION
Set the output power of the device in this field. If there is a high density of APs
within an area, decrease the output power of the device to reduce interference
with other APs.
The options are Full, 50%, 25%, 12% and Min.
Use this field to select a maximum data rate for the wireless connection(s). Please
note that this is a total rate to be shared by all of the device's wireless connections.
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support
long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless
adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
Select Dynamic to have the device automatically use short preamble when all
wireless clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble.
Note: The device and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
The other device must also support super-G mode in order for the device to use it
for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a Wireless Mode
that includes IEEE 802.11g.
When Super-G Mode is enabled, the ZyXEL Device in wireless client mode can
also connect to a turbo-G enabled wireless access point.
