maximum data frame size your adapter will transmit. When the packet error rate is high,

you may set the threshold value to transmit shorter frames. You may select RTS/CTS

threshold to define when will your adapter send out RTS/CTS frames to reserve

bandwidth for transmission. By using the RTS/CTS function, you may request

bandwidth from AP to allow you have better chance to send out your data. For the

the same algorithm as the one of the desired Access Point. You can also select Preamble

Type which is for framing synchronization. The possible setting are long and Short. The

setting must be the same as the setting of the Access Point you are going to associate.
