x FEC -- Forward Error Correction is useful in controlling errors in weak connections. FEC
encodes data in a redundant fashion to allow data correction in a noisy or weak connection
without the additional overhead of retransmission.
- Disabled (DEFAULT). No Forward Error Correction will be used. This option provides the
highest throughput and standard sensitivity, and is suitable for strong connections.
- Low Gain – Provides better sensitivity, while still offering good throughput.
- Adaptive – Provides the best sensitivity and standard throughput. Adaptive on a per-packet basis.
NOTE It is critical to have FEC set identically on the AP and all Remotes.
