Ad Hoc Power Management
Set power saving features for Device to Device (ad hoc) networks.
● Disable: Select when connecting to ad hoc networks that
contain stations that do not support ad hoc power management
● Maximum Power Savings: Select to optimize battery life.
● Noisy Environment: Select to optimize performance or
connecting with multiple clients.
NOTE: This setting is unavailable if the adapter is an Intel
PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection or an Intel PRO/Wireless
2200BG Network Connection.
Ad Hoc QoS Mode
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides
prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN
based on traffic classification. WMM (Wifi MultiMedia) is the QoS
certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the
adapter uses WMM to support priority tagging and queuing
capabilities for Wi-Fi networks.
● WMM Enabled.(Default)
● WMM Disabled
Mixed mode protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g
environment. Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be
used in an environment where clients may not hear each other. CTS-
to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an environment
where clients are in close proximity and can hear each other.
Power Management
Allows you to select a balance between power consumption and
adapter performance. The wireless 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 infrastructure
settings.
Preamble Mode Changes the preamble length setting received by the access point
during an initial connection. Always use a long preamble length to
connect to an access point. Auto Tx Preamble allows automatic
preamble detection. If supported, short preamble should be used. If
not, use long preamble (Long Tx Preamble).
Preferred Band
Select the operating band. The selections are:
● 802.11g
● 802.11a
● 802.11b
NOTE: This setting is available only for an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless
2200BG Network Connection.
