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.
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 network based on traffic
classification. WMM* (Wi-Fi Multimedia*) is the QoS
certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance* (WFA). When
WMM* is enabled, the WiFi adapter uses WMM to
support priority tagging and queuing capabilities for
Wi-Fi* networks.
● WMM Enabled
● WMM Disabled (default)
Fat Channel Intolerant This setting communicates to surrounding networks
that this WiFi adapter is not tolerant of 40MHz
channels in the 2.4GHz band. The default setting is
for this to be turned off (disabled), so that the
adapter does not send this notification.
NOTE: This setting is does not apply to the following
adapters:
● Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_
● Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection
Mixed Mode Protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed
802.11b/11g/11a/11n 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. (CTS-to-self is not
supported for 802.11n.)
