Changing the Preamble Length Setting
The preamble property allows you to select the length of the preamble used to make a
connection. If you have a problem connecting to an access point, please contact your
system administrator or check the preamble length setting. If it is determined that a long
preamble length is required to connect to the access point, try changing the preamble to
"Long Only," this option always uses a long preamble to connect to the access point. The
"Auto" (Default) setting option allows automatic detection of the preamble setting
received from the access point to enable the appropriate preamble option. Short
preamble is used if this option is supported, if not, long preamble is used.
To enable "Long Only" preamble length under Windows XP and 2000:
1. Start Windows and log on with administrative privileges.
2. Right-click on My computer on your Desktop and select Properties.
3. Click the Hardware Tab and click Device Manager.
4. Click Network Adapter, locate your installed wireless adapter, right-click on the
device and select Property.
5. Click on Advanced Tab.
6. Select Preamble.
