Auto by default.
XPress
TM
Technology
When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput can
improve significantly.
802.11n Protection
The 802.11g standards provide a protection method so
802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same
network without “speaking” at the same time. Do not disable
802.11n protection if there is a possibility that 802.11b or
802.11g devices will use your wireless network. In
Auto
mode, the wireless devices use RTS/CTS to improve
802.11n performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b networks.
Turn protection off to maximize 802.11n throughput under
most conditions.
Short Guard Interval
Provides compatibility with certain devices that do not meet
802.11 specifications.
Basic Rate Set
Select the wireless transmission rate to a particular speed
or leave it as default (Auto) to allow the AP adjusts speed
automatically.
Multicast Rate
Specify the rate at which multicast packets are transmitted
and received on your wireless network. Multicast packets
are used to send a single message to a set of recipients in a
defined group. Teleconferencing, videoconferencing and
group email are some examples of multicast applications.
Specifying a high multicast rate may improve performance
of multicast features. The rates are in Mbps. You can select
Aut
omatic, 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 54.
NPHY Rate
Set the Physical Layer (NPHY) rate. These rates are only
applicable when the
802.11n mode is configured as
Automatic.
Legacy Rate
Auto by default.
