4.10. Advanced Settings
The
Advanced Settings
tab contains the advanced connection settings for the client in your WiFi network.
We recommend that you
DO NOT
modify these settings unless you know exactly what you are doing.
-
WiFi mode (only in Windows 98SE/Me/XP/2000)
: select the
802.11b/g mixed
mode (the card will function
with the 802.11b and g standards only) or the
802.11b/g/n mixed
mode (the card will function with the
802.11b, g and n standards).
If, apart from your Hercules Wireless N, you only have 802.11b or 802.11g devices, it is preferable
to select the
802.11b/g mixed
mode. In this way, you will achieve better performance in terms of transfer
rates. In effect, detection of the 802.11n standard slightly increases processing time.
Similarly, you should select
802.11b/g mixed
mode if you encounter any difficulties connecting to the
Hercules Wireless N card.
If you don’t know whether your products are 802.11b, g and/or n, select the
802.11b/g/n
option.
-
Enable "Boost" mode:
this mode consists of sending data packets when bandwidth is less in demand, in
order to improve transfer speed performance. This proprietary technology only functions with Hercules WiFi N
products.
-
Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia Mode:
this mode allows you to assign a priority with respect to the types of data
that are circulating on the network. If you select this option, the priorities will be assigned as follows:
Priority

Internet)
2

3
Other applications which frequently
use the network (Internet browser...)
4

(printing jobs, downloads, email... )
