• 2.4GHz Preamble. An Auto setting might give slightly better performance. A Long setting

might provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer range.

• 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. You can change the wireless mode, though the default setting works for either

2.4 GHz or 5GHz wireless networks. If you change this setting, make sure that your wireless

router or access point is capable of operating in the same wireless mode.

• 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.

• RTS/CTS Threshold. The packet size that is used to determine whether it should use the

CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the

CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet

transmission. CSMA/CD is slightly more efficient.
