3.4. Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings tab contains the advanced connection settings for the client in your WiFi network. We recommend that
you DO NOT modify these settings unless you know exactly what you are doing.
- WiFi mode: select the 802.11b/g mixed mode (the key will function with the 802.11b and g standards only) or the 802.11b/g/n
mixed mode (the key will function with the 802.11b, g and n standards).
If, apart from your eCAFÉ
TM
WiFi N version, you only have 802.11b or 802.11g devices, it is preferable to select the
802.11b/g mixed mode. In this way, you will achieve better performance in terms of transfer rates. In effect, detection of
the 802.11n standard slightly increases processing time.
If you don’t know whether your products are 802.11b, g and/or n, select the 802.11b/g/n option.
- Enable "Boost" mode: this mode consists of sending data packets when bandwidth is less in demand, in order to improve
transfer speed performance. This proprietary technology only functions with Hercules WiFi N products.
- Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia Mode: this mode allows you to assign a priority with respect to the types of data that are circulating
on the network. If you select this option, the priorities will be assigned as follows:
Priority
Type
1 Voice over IP (calls made over the Internet)
2 Video data
3 Other applications which frequently use the network
(Internet browser...)
4 Background task applications (printing jobs, downloads,
email... )
For example, if bandwidth is insufficient to allow for making a call via the Internet, watching a video, surfing the Internet and
downloading files, WMM mode will hold off on the downloads, Internet browsing, and the video. The goal is to guarantee optimal
comfort of use for the main task at hand.
