User's Manual

Power

Management

Lets you select a balance between power consumption and WiFi adapter

performance. The WiFi adapter power settings slider sets a balance between

the computer's power source and the battery.

 Use default value: (Default) Power settings are based on the

computer's power source.

 Manual: Adjust the slider for the desired setting. Use the lowest

setting for maximum battery life. Use the highest setting for

maximum performance.

NOTE: Power consumption savings vary based on Network (Infrastructure)

settings.

Roaming

Aggressiveness

This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to

improve connection to an access point.

 Default: Balanced setting between not roaming and performance.

 Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link

quality degradation causes it to roam to another access point.

 Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality. If

any degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access

point.

Throughput

Enhancement

Changes the value of the Packet Burst Control.

 Enable: Select to enable throughput enhancement.

 Disable: (Default) Select to disable throughput enhancement.

Transmit Power

Default Setting: Highest power setting.

Lowest: Minimum Coverage: Set the adapter to the lowest transmit power.

Enables you to expand the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage

area. Reduces the coverage area in high traffic areas to improve overall

transmission quality and avoids congestion and interference with other

devices.

Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to a maximum transmit

power level. Select for maximum performance and range in environments

with limited additional WiFi radio devices.

NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at

the lowest possible level that is still compatible with the quality of their

communication. This allows the maximum number of wireless devices to

operate in dense areas and reduce interference with other devices that it

shares the same radio spectrum with.
