Turbo Mode and Protected Mode
Turbo Mode
Enabling Turbo mode allows the WRE/AP to use frame bursting to get the
maximum throughput from the WRE/AP to 802.11g clients. Turbo mode
throughput is up to 50% faster than any standard 802.11g equipment.
Turbo mode will work with 802.11g clients that support Turbo mode. Belkin
802.11g clients using the latest driver will support Turbo mode. Clients that
do not support Turbo mode will operate normally if Turbo mode is enabled.
By default, Turbo mode is enabled. To switch Turbo mode off, select “OFF”
from the drop-down menu and click “Apply Changes”.
Protected Mode
As part of the 802.11g specification, Protected Mode will ensure proper
operation of 802.11g clients and access points when there is heavy
802.11b traffic in the operating environment. When Protected Mode is ON,
802.11g will scan for other wireless network traffic before it transmits data.
This method of “waiting” helps when there is very heavy traffic, but adds
unnecessary delays when there is no heavy traffic.
If you are in an environment where there is no other (or very little) wireless
network traffic, best performance is achieved with Protected Mode OFF.
If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or
interference, best performance may be achieved with Protected Mode ON.
