AdHoc Band: There are three available selection for Auto, 11b and 11g
Channel: The channel the AP operates on. Users can select the channel range of 1
to 11 for North America (FCC) domain and 1 to 13 for European (ETSI) and Japan
(MKK) domains.
Power Save: There are 3 modes to choose from.
• Continuous Access Mode (default) – the wireless LAN adapter is constantly
operating with full power. This mode consumes the most power.
• Maximum Power Save – the wireless LAN adapter consumes the least power.
This mode only operates when there is wireless network activity.
• Power Save – the wireless LAN adapter consumes moderate level of power.
Preamble Type: Select Long or Short & Long Preamble type. Preamble is a
sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach
steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two
different preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long
Preamble and header, which interoperates with the 1Mbps and 2Mbps DSSS
specification (as described in IEEE 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and
header (as described in IEEE 802.11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header
are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short
Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the
network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only for the
IEEE 802.11b (High- Rate) standard and not for the original IEEE 802.11 standard.
That means that stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with stations
implementing the original version of the protocol. Click “Apply” to save the
changes.
Support Band: There are 3 modes the user can select; 11B, 11G and 11N. By
default, 11B, 11G and 11N are enabled.
