domain or hardware limitations.
Power Save Mode Maximum: causes the access point to buffer incoming
messages for the Wireless Adapter. The Wireless
Adapter periodically polls the access point to see if any
messages are waiting.
Normal: uses maximum when retrieving a large number
of packets, then switches back to power save mode after
retrieving the packets.
Off: turns power saving off, thus powering up the
Wireless Adapter continuously for a short message
response time.
Network Type Specifies the network as either Infrastructure (access
point mode) or Ad Hoc.
802.11b Preamble Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default
setting is Short & Long (access point mode), which
allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b frames.
The Wireless Adapter can only use short radio headers if
the access point supports and uses them. Set to Long
Only to override allowing short frames.
Wireless Mode Select what mode the Wireless Adapter uses to connect
to an access point when Network Type is set as
Infrastructure. The Wireless Adapter must match its
wireless mode to the mode of the access point it
associates to.
2.4GHz 54Mbps: Check this to comply to IEEE 802.11g
standard and the Wireless Adapter is capable to connect
to any 802.11g network.
2.4GHz 11Mbps: Check this to comply to IEEE 802.11b
standard and the Wireless Adapter is capable to connect
to any 802.11b network.
Super G: When 2.4GHz 54Mbps is selected above,
check this to apply special feature Super G
TM
to lift up
data rate to 108Mbps. Super G
TM
technology, powered
by Atheros

Communications, combines four latest
mechanisms to achieve high throughput: Packet Bursting,
Compression, Fast Frames, and Dynamic Turbo. To
build a Super G
TM
connection successfully, the access
point that the Wireless Adapter associated to must set in
Super G
TM
wireless mode, too.
eXtended Range (XR)
TM
: Check to apply special
feature eXtended Range (XR)
TM
to link with 3x range of
standard WLAN technologies in outdoor and 2x range of
standard WLAN technologies in indoor. To build a XR
link, the access point that the Wireless Adapter
associated to must set in XR mode, too.
