Radio Status
Shows whether the radio is on or off.
Data Rate
Selects the rate of transmission between your computer and the access point (in the
infrastructure mode) or another wireless device (in the ad hoc mode). In general, a higher
transmission rate would provide a smaller coverage area, and a lower transmission rate
would cover a greater distance. The default setting is
Auto Rate
, which allows the device to
start at 54 Mbps and automatically lowers the transmission rate when necessary.
Channel
Selects the frequency channel for the transmission in the
Ad Hoc Mode
or
AP Mode

Fragment Threshold
Defines the size at which packets are fragmented. The acceptable range of values is from
256 to 2312 bytes, and the default value is 2312 bytes.
RTS Threshold
Defines the size at which packets are sent via the RTS-CTS mechanism. The acceptable
range of values is from 0 to 2312 bytes, and the default value is 2312 bytes.

usage
