z
Beacon Interval – A packet of information that is sent from a connected
device to all other devices where it announces its availability and
readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon)
before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in
milliseconds (ms).
z
Xpress Technology – A technology that utilizes standards based on
framebursting to achieve higher throughput. With Xpress Technology
enabled, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual throughput
speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 25 percent in
802.11g only networks and up to 75 percent in mixed networks
comprising 802.11g and 802.11b equipment.
z
54g Mode – 54g is a proprietary Wi-Fi technology that provides higher
speed, reach, and security.
z
54g Protection – The 802.11g standards provide a protection method so
802.11g and 802.11b devices can co-exist in the same network without
"speaking" at the same time. Do not disable 54g Protection if there is a
possibility that a 802.11b device may need to use your wireless network.
In Auto Mode, the wireless device will use RTS/CTS (Request to Send /
Clear to Send) to improve 802.11g performance in mixed 802.11g/
802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11g throughput
under most conditions.
z
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) – WMM provides QoS functionality for
Wi-Fi multimedia applications by prioritizing traffic demands from
different applications on the network.
