rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among 
the following options: Auto, 1, 2, 5.5, 11or 54 Mbps. For 
most networks the default setting is 

Auto

 which is the best 

choice. When 

Auto

 is enabled the transmission rate will 

select the optimal rate. If obstacles or interference are 
present, the system will automatically fall back to a lower 
rate. 

Preamble Type 

A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to 
synchronize the transmitting timing including 
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. In a "noisy" 
network environment, the Preamble Type should be set to 

Long Preamble

. The 

Short Preamble

is intended for 

applications where minimum overhead and maximum 
performance is desired. If in a "noisy" network environment, 
the performance will be decreased. 

Broadcast SSID  

Select 

enabled

 to allow all the wireless stations to detect the 

SSID of this Access Point.  

IAPP 

IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) is designed for the 
enforcement of unique association throughout a ESS 
(Extended Service Set) and a secure exchange of station’s 
security context between current access point (AP) and new 
AP during handoff period. 

802.11g Protection 

The 802.11g standard includes a protection mechanism to ensure 
mixed 802.11b and 802.11g operations. If there is no such kind of 
mechanism exists, the two kinds of standards may mutually 
interfere and decrease network’s performance.  

Tx Power Level

Highest

High

Middle
