specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the
adapter.
Fragement Threshold
The value defines the maximum size of packets, any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented.
If you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but it
will likely decrease overall network performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2432 bytes.
Minor change is recommended.
RTS Threshold
Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold,
an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. Select a setting within a range of
0 to 2432 bytes. Minor change is recommended
Beacon Interval
This value specifies the duration between beacon packets (milliseconds). The beacon packets include the
adapter’s information and are broadcasted to the WLAN network periodly. The beacon period is fixed in
100ms.
Power Save
z CAM(Continuous Access Mode) – Adapter will always set in active mode.
z Max – Enable the adapter in the power saving mode when it is idle.
z Fast – Enable the adapter in the power saving mode when it is idle, but some compoents of
the adapter is still alive. In this mode, the power consumption is larger than “Max“ mode.
Turn Off Radio
When the setting is checked, the wireless connection of the adapter will be disabled.
Use Short Preamble
The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the Access Point and the
adapter. High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.
Show Icon in System Tray
Enable or disable the icon shown in the taskbar.
Channel
When communicating in Ad-Hoc mode, you must specify a channel on which communications will take
place. This field is grayed in infrastructure mode because the Access Point automatically selects the
channel.
Data Rate
Auto Rate Select- When it is enabled, the device will choose the most suitable transmission rate
automatically.
