3-12 Configuration

Advanced Settings Page

Generally, the Advanced settings should not require adjustment. Except for the power saving

setting, changing any of the settings incorrectly on this page could cause your wireless connection

to fail.

Figure 3-7: Advanced Settings page

• 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.

• 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.
