is selected by default. WMM

stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia, by enabling this feature it will improve

the user experience for audio and video applications over a Wi-Fi

network.

Preamble:

Select the default value

Short and Long

, or

Long Only

RTS Length:

Transmit Power:

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you

encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the

value range between 256 and 2346 are recommended

Choose full, half (-3dB), quarter (-6dB), eighth (-9dB), minimum

power.

Wireless B/G Mode:

This function allows you to configure the wireless network with IEEE

802.11g only, IEEE 802.11b only, or IEEE 802.11g with backward

interoperability with IEEE 802.11b.

Enable data rate control:

Specify the data rates at which the DWL-3260AP should transmit

signals. Choose from 6Mbps, 9Mbps, 12Mbps, 18Mbps, 24Mbps,

36Mbps, 48Mbps, 54Mbps.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines

whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346

byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the

default setting

Fragment Length:

Super G Mode:

Super G is a group of performance enhancement features that

increase end user application throughput in an 802.11g network.

Super G is backwards compatible to standard 802.11g devices.

For top performance, all wireless devices on the network should be

Super G capable. Select either

Disabled, Super G without Turbo,

or Super G with Dynamic Turbo

Disabled:

Super G

without

Turbo:

Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression,

and no Turbo mode.

Super

G with

Dynamic

Turbo:

Capable of Packet Bursting, FastFrames, Compression,

and Dynamic Turbo. This setting is backwards compatible

with non-Turbo (legacy) devices. Dynamic Turbo mode is

only enabled when all devices on the wireless network are

configured with Super G with Dynamic Turbo enabled.

Select

Off

Standard 802.11g support, no enhanced capabilities.
