n Best Performance : No WLAN Power Save. Use only if the absolute highest WLAN throughput is
required or if your network configuration does not support these modes.

significantly reduces the WLAN data throughput. It is not recommended for large file transfers or
when Bluetooth is on.

Activating LEAP
The LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) section of the application allows you
to increase the security of your device by setting the SSID, username, password, and domain to
ensure that no one can access your network without your permission. Most 802.11 access points
offer by default a form of authentication called open systems authentication, which is this device’s
default setting. In this mode, the access point grants approval for any request for authentication.
The client simply sends an authentication request frame, and the access point responds with an
authentication approval. This lets anyone having the correct SSID to associate with the access
point. For LEAP to work correctly, both the access point and the receiving device (your T-Mobile
MDA III) must be set with the same username and password, and SSID.
