User manual
There are several options in the drop-down menu: “Auto” and a
range of speeds from “1 Mbps” to “54 Mbps.” When “Auto” is selected,
the device automatically chooses the most suitable transmission rate.
The higher the data rate designated in the network, the shorter the
distance allowed between the adapter and the wireless stations.
When the wireless mode is “802.11 B Only,” the maximum data rate is
11 Mbps (11b), making only “Auto,” “1 Mbps,” “2 Mbps,” “5.5 Mbps” and
“11 Mbps” available as options.
This enables the adapter to deliver better throughput
in the same period and environment.
The TCP window is the amount of data a
sender can deliver on a particular connection before it gets an
acknowledgment back from the receiver that it has gotten some of it.
When the router or AP the adapter is connecting to has set up the
TCP window, you can enable the parameter to meet the data size for
the router or AP connection. The larger the TCP window, the better
the performance.
To fast roam to a nearby network without
interrupting the wireless connection (such as a multimedia application
or a voice call), you can set this parameter. The adapter will fast roam
when the receive sensitivity (signal strength) is below the value entered.

Channel availability varies from
country to country; for example, USA (FCC) channels are 1-11, while
Europe (ETSI) channels are 1-13.
Cisco Compatible Extensions, for radio monitoring and
fast roaming.
During normal operation, LEAP-enabled client devices
mutually authenticate with a new AP by performing a complete LEAP
authentication, including communication with the main RADIUS server.
When a wireless LAN is congured for fast re-association, however,
LEAP-enabled client devices roam from one access point to another
without involving the main server. Using Cisco Centralized Key
Management (CCKM), an access point congured to provide wireless
domain services (WDS) takes the place of the RADIUS server and
