Select Data Rate from the drop down list. Data rate will affect the efficiency of the
throughput. If the data rate is set to a small number, the lower through will get but it
can transmit to longer distance.
Select Transmit Power to increase or decrease Transmit Power. Higher transmit
power will sometimes cause unable to connect to the network. On the other hand,
the lower transmit power will cause client unable to connect to the device.
Select antenna waveform from Diversity, Vertical or Horizontal.
Specify package size during transmission. If large amount of client are accessing to
the network, specify small number of the fragment length in order to avoid collision.
Specify Threshold package size for RTC/CTS. Using small number of the threshold will
cause RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often to consuming more of the available
bandwidth. In addition, if the heavy load traffic occurs, the wireless network can be
recovered easily from interferences or collisions.
Select Disable or Enable Protection Mode. If there are large amount of error occur
during the transmission, please enable the protect mode otherwise protect mode
should remain disable.
Select Disable or Enable WMM function. WMM is based on the four Access
Categories: voice, video, best effort and background. WMM function is not used to
guarantee transmission speed.
Select Channel Bandwidth from the drop down list. Decrease channel bandwidth
