Short Preamble – Preambles are a sequence of binary bits that help the
receivers synchronize and ready for receipt of a data transmission. Some
older wireless systems like 802.11b implementation use shorter preambles.
If you are having difficulty connecting to an older 802.11b device, try to
enable short preamble.
z
Protection Mode – Protection Mode should remain default value (Auto)
unless you are having severe problems with your 11g Wireless LAN
products not being able to transmit to the Access Point in an environment
with heavy 802.11b traffic. To enable this function boosts the Access
Point’s ability to catch all 11g Wireless transmissions but will severely
decrease performance.
z
eXtended Range – Atheros eXtended Range technology is fully
compatible with IEEE and Wi-Fi Alliance standards. In outdoor
environments, XR enables more economical point to point fixed wireless
system and provides for greater utility of public hot spots infrastructure
with increased numbers of users able to connect each access point.
z
Distance (1-
5
) – Setup “Distance” according to the longest link
distance between the point to point or point to multi-point in the network.
The input needs to be greater than or equal to the real distance. The range
can be from
1KM to 5KM in Super Mode.
