security appliance will retry a frame transmission that fails.
NOTE
The short frame is only available when the specified wireless network
mode includes 802.11n.
•
CTS Protection Mode:
CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode function
boosts the ability of the access point to catch all Wireless-G transmissions
but will severely decrease performance.
-
Click
AUTO

a packet. This mode can minimize collisions among hidden stations.
-
Click
Disabled

Power Output:
You can adjust the output power of the access point to get
the appropriate coverage for your wireless network. Choose the level you
need for your environment. If you are not sure of which setting to select, then
keep the default setting, 100%.
