Preamble Type Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Short and Long
refer to the length of the synchronization field in a packet.
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

preamble mode in order to communicate.
