F3: How does the data transmission rate work?
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor allows you to choose one of the six data rate
options: Fixed 1Mbps, Fixed 2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed 11 Mbps,
Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and Fully Auto.
The farther the distance between two communicating devices, the slower
the data rate should be used. Basically, with slower data rate, the data
delivery will be more reliable. If you don’t know which data rate should be
used, simply choose “Fully Auto”, and the data rate will automatically
step down from 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps if you move
farther your Pocket PC away from the Access Point or other connected
mobile device.

power?

Saving Mode”, and then tap the “Apply” button.

of the Wire- less Network , please make sure to close all the Wireless

lower down the average throughput due to longer connection period
for the Wireless Network.

able “Power Saving Mode”, because Ad Hoc Mode doesn’t support
this function.
