Transmit Power Sets the transmit power on the SBG1000 wireless access point — 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100
mW . The default is 32 mW. Transmit power control is an optional IEEE 802.11b feature.
RTS Threshold The Request To Send Threshold sets the packet size at which the access point issues an RTS
before sending the packet. A low RTS can help when many clients are associated with the
SBG1000 or when the clients are far apart and can detect the SBG1000 but not each other.
The value can be 0 to 2347 bytes. The default is 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold Sets the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several packets instead of as one
packet). A low Fragmentation Threshold can help when communication is poor or when there
is a significant interference.
The default is 2346. The value can be 256 to 2346 bytes.
Enable Short Preamble Short preamble can improve throughput when the SBG1000 access point and associated
clients operate at 2, 5.5, or 11 Mbps. If you enable short preamble, be sure all wireless clients
also support short preamble. Short preamble is an optional IEEE 802.11b feature that is useful
if maximum throughput is important and interoperability with legacy IEEE 802.11b equipment is
not required. The default is Disabled.
Caution!
The default Authentication setting of Disable WEP provides no security for transmitted data.
