Turbo Mode
Turbo mode allows you to accelerate the transmission rate of your network adapter by
setting up a connection with exclusive rights. For the duration of the data transmission,
the two network adapters connected in Turbo mode remain unreachable for other
connection partners. This prevents a reduction of the transmission rate by simultaneous
communication with other connection partners.
ì Select Enabled to activate Turbo mode.
If you no longer need the exclusive connection:
ì Select Disabled to deactivate Turbo mode.
Transmission Power
The network adapter's energy consumption rises with increasing transmission power.
Especially when using a laptop in battery mode, you should adjust the Transmission
power to your actual requirements.
You can adjust the Transmission power of the Gigaset USB Adapter 54 with a slider.
u Low Transmission power is normally sufficient when the connection partners are
not too far apart.
u Higher Transmission power is required when the radio transmission has to cover
longer distances or is impeded by obstacles such as walls or metal shelves.
ì Move the slider to the required position:
Move the slider up to increase the Transmission power or down to reduce the
Transmission power.
i
Your network adapter can only use Turbo mode if the settings of the
WLAN and the connection partner permit it.
!
Two network adapters connected in Turbo mode cannot be reached
by a third connection partner.
If you operate your PC in a WLAN with several connection partners, you
should activate Turbo mode only when you need it, e. g. to transfer
larger data volumes.
If your PC frequently has trouble reaching a particular connection partner,
you should check its settings:
ì If necessary, deactivate the Turbo Mode option in the configuration
profile of the connection partner.
