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.

Roaming
Aggressiveness
This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to
improve connection to an access point. There are five avaialbe settings.
3. Medium: This is the default. A balanced setting between not
roaming and performance.
1. Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link
quality degradation causes it to roam to another access point.
5. Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality.
If any degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access
point.
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
with limited additional WiFi radio devices.
NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at
