Advanced Settings
Click the “General” tab (see the previous screen). In the “Connect using” field, make sure
that the adapter shown is the Wireless PC Card.
1. Click “Configure.” Click the “Advanced” tab.
2. Set the “Fragmentation Threshold.” (The default 2,346 means “Disabled.”) See See
“Terminology” on page 25 for a description of “Fragmentation Threshold.”
3. “Preamble Type” offers a dropdown list with three options: Auto, Long, or Short.
If you aren’t sure whether all the clients and access points in your wireless network
support the Short RF preamble, then leave this setting on “Auto” (Default.) See See
“Terminology” on page 25 for a description of “Preamble Type.”
4. “Rate” is the data transmission/reception rate setting. It can be set to Auto, 1 Mbps, 2
Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps. Usually this should be set to Auto. In a radio frequency
hostile environment, a lower rate can provide more stable transmission quality.
5. Set the “RTS Threshold” to the same as that used by other devices in your network
(The default 2,347 means “Disabled.”) See See “Terminology” on page 25 for a
description of “RTS Threshold.”
