overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security. AES has been developed to
ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is
the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless
network.
The security setting must be the same on the wireless stations within the network.
Preamble Mode
The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication among the
wireless stations. There are three mode including Long, Short and Auto. High
network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type. If “Auto“ mode is
selected, the adapter will auto switch the preamble mode depending on the wireless
stations that the adapter is connecting to.
Note that the parameter is only active in the Ad Hoc operation mode.
