• Power Saving: Select On if you are using a notebook computer running on battery power.
• Preamble: A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble might give slightly better performance.
• Transmit Power: Lowering the output power level lets you reduce the chance of interference
with other nearby access points but reduces the range of your adapter.
• Wireless Mode: Select the wireless protocols you will use. Depending on your wireless
adapter, you can choose some or all of the available 802.11 wireless protocols. Note that, if the
wireless network you are communicating with uses the 802.11a Turbo mode, you must include
that in your selection.
• Fragmentation Threshold: This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets
larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
