802.11 mixed
(default value) /
802.11 mixed-short
:
Your device adapts to the client technology. The following ap-
plies for mixed-short: The data rates 5.5 and 11 mbps must
be supported by all clients (basic rates).
•
802.11 mixed-long
: Your device adapts to the client tech-
nology. Only a data rate of 1 and 2 mbps needs to be suppor-
ted by all clients (basic rates). This mode is also needed for
Centrino clients if connection problems occur.
Max. Transmission Rate Select the transmission speed.
Possible values:
•
Autodetect
(default value): The transmission speed is de-
termined automatically.
•
1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54

Nitro Mode
Activate this function to increase the transmission speed for
802.11g through frame bursting. As a result, several packets
are sent one after the other without a waiting period. This is par-
ticularly effective in 11b/g mixed operation.
The function is activated with
Enabled
.
The function is activated by default.
If problems occur with older WLAN hardware, this function
should be deactivated.
Nitro XM
The Nitro XM (eXtreme Multimedia) function can increase
throughput by combining Protection (avoids collisions in radio
cells with 11g and 11b clients), Packet Bursting (sending of sev-
eral data packets together; already implemented with the name
Nitro), Compression and Concatenation (combines several
smaller packets into one larger WLAN packet).
Possible values:
•
Frame Compression
: If this function is activated, sent data
is compressed. This only works in combination with clients
that use Conexant radio cards. The gain in transmission
speed depends to a large extent on the type of transmitted
data.
