wireless PC Card. To optimize performance and range, the Transmit

Rate should be set to Fully automatic (Auto), which will

The Preamble Type can be set by the user as Long Preamble or

Short Preamble. Preamble is used by synchronizing the data

transmitted and received in wireless data transmission when the

transmitting and receiving data speed is in their data rate.

The Fragmentation Threshold field may be set by user, the higher

data (2432 bytes) fragmented will cause the higher

transmitted/received data speed, but when link quality/signal strength

is lower, you may try lower threshold data size for

transmitted/received data. (Recommended a minor reduction the

value)

The RTS/CTS Threshold field may be set by user, the higher

threshold value may easier associate with Access Point when client

on the far side from AP, but when link quality/signal strength is lower

you may set a lower value to associate with AP. (Recommended a

minor reduction the value)
