5. Select the “
Advanced
” tab. You can choose the
fragmentation threshold
to
define the maximum data frame size your adapter will transmit. When the packet
error rate is high, you may set the threshold value to transmit shorter frames. You
may select
RTS/CTS threshold
to define when will your adapter send out
RTS/CTS frames to reserve bandwidth for transmission. By using the RTS/CTS
function, you may request bandwidth from AP to allow you have better chance to
send out your data.
For the
Security, i
t’s only applicable while WEP is enabled.
For the
Authentication Type,
the current supported algorithms are Open System,
Shared Key, and Auto. The algorithm will be invoked when associated to Access
Point. To associate to the desired Access Point you must set the same algorithm
as the one of the desired Access Point. When select Auto mode, the driver can
auto detect the Authentication Type of the Access Point you are going to associate.
You can also select
Preamble Type,
which
is for framing synchronization. The
possible setting are Long and Short. The setting must be the same as the setting
of the Access Point you are going to associate.
