A large
Fragmentation Threshold
is recommended for networks not prone to interference
while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to
interference.
If the
Fragmentation Threshold
value is smaller than the
RTS/CTS
value (see previously)
you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as
data frames will be fragmented before they reach
RTS/CTS
size.
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/g 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
Short
preamble if you are sure the wireless adapters support it, and to provide more
efficient communications.
Select
Dynamic
to have the AP automatically use short preamble when wireless adapters
support it, otherwise the AP uses long preamble.
Note:
The AP and the wireless adapters MUST
use the same preamble mode in
order to communicate.
IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE
802.11b adapter can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at
11 Mbps or lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps
between the maximum and minimum data rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation
are as follows:

DATA RATE (MBPS)
MODULATION

DBPSK (Differential Binary Phase Shift Keyed)

DQPSK (Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)

CCK (Complementary Code Keying)

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
