Wireless Advanced Settings


Click on the Wireless Advanced Settings link. On this page you can configure the
advanced settings to tweak the performance of your wireless network. Options
available are: data rate, transmit power, antenna diversity, fragmentation threshold,
RTS threshold, and 802.11g protection.

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.

You can arrange the different data rate in distance in Access Point mode. Please
refer below table. The table only for 11g and 11b/g mix mode


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.
