Using the Belkin Wireless Utility
(c) 2.4GHz (802.11b)
Click here to use only the 802.11b radio band.
(d) 2.4GHz (802.11b/g)
Click here to use both the 802.11b and 802.11g radio band.
(e) Fragmentation Threshold
Click on the bar to adjust the fragmentation threshold.
Fragmentation can be set between 256 and 2346 bytes. Using
fragmentation to divide frames into smaller pieces can increase
transmission reliability; however, it can also increase overhead
and reduce performance speeds. Setting the fragmentation
threshold to 2346 disables fragmentation; this is the
default setting.
(f) Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) Threshold
Click on the bar to adjust the RTS/CTS threshold. RTS/CTS
can be set between 256 and 2346 bytes. Using RTS/CTS will
control the data sent to minimize collisions with other PCs
sending data on the same network. Setting RTS/CTS threshold
to 2346 disables RTS/CTS and is the default setting.
(g) Power Saving
Select from either Off, Max, or Dynamic. The "Max" setting
draws less power from your PC. Use it when you want to
conserve battery power or when you are in close range.
The "Off" setting enables the highest performance; and the
"Dynamic" setting automatically adjusts the power setting to a
moderate level.
(h) Transmitted Rate
Select the transmit rate for data transmission.
(i) 2.4GHz Preamble
Select from either "Long" or "Auto Preamble" type. Auto is
recommended for high network traffic environments.
