Preamble Type 

A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client. 
Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility. 
Short Preamble is non-standard, resulting in decreased compatibility, but increased performance. 

Tx Power 

Set the power output of the wireless signal.
