Long Preamble
Packet-OVERDRIVE
162
This option is to define the length of the sync field in an
802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short
preamble with 56 bit sync filed instead of long preamble
with 128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b
wireless network devices only support long preamble.
Check it to use Long Preamble if needed to
communicate with this kind of devices.
This feature can enhance the performance in data
transmission about 40%* more (by checking Tx Burst).
It is active only when both sides of Access Point and
Station (in wireless client) invoke this function at the
same time. That is, the wireless client must support this
feature and invoke the function, too.

Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for
matching with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the
following picture of Vigor N61 wireless utility window,
choose Enable for TxBURST on the tab of Option).

through wireless connection.
