Nitro Mode
This feature may increase data throughput over the WLAN and is particularly effective in mixed
802.11 g/b environments. This property determines whether Nitro mode is enabled in your
WLAN USB Module.
Power Save Mode
This property turns the Station Power Save feature on, off, or sets it to Auto. When in Auto
mode, the station enters Power Save based on the battery condition (Supported by XP only) on
the host. Power Save Mode decreases the amount of power consumed by the adapter by
powering off the radio for short periods. Enabling Power Save Mode trades off performance for
battery life.
 Auto Dynamic – specifies Disable mode when on AC power and Dynamic mode when
on battery
 Auto Maximum – specifies Disable mode when on AC power and Maximum mode
when on battery
Note: Auto Dynamic and Auto Maximum require NDIS 5.1 or later, typically available only on Windows
XP.
 Disabled – specifies continuous access mode and is the default
 Dynamic – specifies a fast power saving mode that provides the best combination of
performance and power usage
 Maximum – specifies the greatest power saving mode
As to the values of Compression, Concatenation, Direct Link and PiggyBack properties, they
only apply to the engineering testing requirements. It’s strongly recommended that you should
leave these properties as default.
