7.6.5 AP+Repeater Mode
Select AP+Repeater as the Operation Mode to have the device act as an access point and a
wireless bridge.
Preamble
Type
Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver.
Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means
more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless adapters support
long preamble, but not all support short preamble.
Select
Long preamble if you are unsure what preamble mode the wireless
adapters support, and to provide more reliable communications in busy wireless
networks.
Select
Dynamic to have the device automatically use short preamble when all
wireless clients support it, otherwise the device uses long preamble.
Note: The device and the wireless stations MUST use the same
preamble mode in order to communicate.
Super-G Mode Super-G mode provides higher speed transmissions than regular IEEE 802.11g.
The other device must also support super-G mode in order for the device to use it
for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a Wireless Mode
that includes IEEE 802.11g.
Turbo-G Mode Turbo-G mode provides higher speed transmissions than regular IEEE 802.11g or
super-G mode. The other device must also support turbo-G mode in order to use it
for the wireless connection. This is available when you select a Wireless Mode
that includes IEEE 802.11g.
Turbo-G uses two channels bonded together in order to achieve its higher
transmission rates. This may cause interference with other APs in the area. The
Channel field is automatically fixed at 6 when you use turbo-G mode.
