7.5.3 Wireless Advanced Settings
On this page you can configure the advanced settings to tweak the performance of your
wireless network. Options available are: data rate, transmit power, fragmentation threshold,
RTS threshold, protection mode and distance.
Data Rate: If you would like to force a data rate, you may select one from the drop‐down list.
However, for best performance it is recommended to use the Auto setting.
Transmit Power: You may have the different application distance of the device by selecting
a value from the drop‐down list. This feature can be helpful in restricting the coverage area
of the wireless network.
Antenna: You can select the antenna polarization to Diversity, Horizontal or Vertical.
Fragment: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to improve
performance on noisy networks.
RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to maintain
performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from degrading the
performance.
Protection Mode: If your wireless network is using both 802.11b and 802.g devices then it is
recommended to enable this feature so that the 802.11b devices will not degrade the
performance of 802.11g devices.
WMM: Enable wireless Quality of Service
Distance (1‐30km): Specify a distance between 1 and 30Km.
