Preamble Mode Changes the preamble length setting received by
the access point during an initial connection. Always
use Auto Tx Preamble to provide optimal network
throughput. Auto Tx Preamble allows automatic
preamble detection. If supported, short preamble
should be used. If not, use Long Tx Preamble.
NOTE: This setting is only available if the adapter is
an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network
Connection or an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection.
Roaming Aggressiveness
This setting lets you define how aggressively your
wireless client roams to improve connection to an
access point.
● Default: Balanced setting between not
roaming and performance.
● Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam.
Only significant link quality degradation
causes it to roam to another access point.
● Highest: Your wireless client continuously
tracks the link quality. If any degradation
occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better
access point.
Throughput Enhancement
Changes the value of the Packet Burst Control.
● Enable: Select to enable throughput
enhancement.
● Disable: (Default) Select to disable
throughput enhancement.
Transmit Power
Default Setting: Highest power setting.
Lowest: Minimum Coverage.: Set the adapter to
the lowest transmit power. Enables you to expand
the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage
area. Reduces the coverage area in high traffic
areas to improve overall transmission quality and
avoids congestion and interference with other
devices.
Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to
a maximum transmit power level. Select for
maximum performance and range in environments
