802.11n Mode (default for cards with IEEE 802.11n capability)
802.11g Mode (default for legacy IEEE 802.11g cards)
802.11b Only
Disable Bands
This property is available only on DW WLAN Card models that have dual-band capability.
None (default)
Disable 802.11g/b
Disable 802.11a
Disable Upon Wired Connect
If this property is set to Enabled, whenever your computer is connected to an Ethernet port and the link state is good, the
computer automatically turns off the IEEE 802.11 radio. This conserves IP address allocation, reduces security risks, resolves
dual interface routing issues, and prolongs battery life.
Disabled (default)
Enabled
Fragmentation Threshold
The maximum size in bytes at which packets are fragmented and transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at once. Available
values range from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.
IBSS Allowed
This property must be set to Enabled for you to use DW WLAN Card Utility or Wireless Network Wizard to create or connect to
an ad hoc network. Your network administrator may require this property to be set to Disabled for security reasons.

IBSS 54g Protection Mode
IBSS 54g
®
Protection Mode is a mechanism of prefixing each OFDM data frame with a request to send/clear to send
(RTS/CTS) complimentary code keying (CCK) frame sequence. The duration fields of the RTS and CTS frames should allow the
IEEE 802.11b node to correctly set its network allocation vector (NAV) and avoid collisions with the subsequent OFDM frames.
As required for Wi-Fi, protection mechanisms are enabled automatically whenever an IEEE 802.11b STA joins the BSS. If no
IEEE 802.11b STA joins, then no protection mechanism is used, and full IEEE 802.11g performance is attained.
