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.
