RTS Threshold: This parameter controls the size

of the Request To Send data packet limit. If a data

packet is larger than the limit, an RTS/CTS

handshaking is required. If smaller than the limit,

the data will be sent without prior approval. It is

usually best to leave this at the default 2347 byte

default value.

TX Power: Sets the wireless transmitter output

power level. The default value is 100.

WMM Capable: This option enables or disables

the Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (QoS)

enhancements. This ensures that high-priority

data (e.g., VoIP, gaming, and streaming video)

receives priority in data transmissions, at the

expense of lower priority data (e.g., downloads

and email). For almost every application this

should be enabled.

APSD Capable: This feature is a power-saving

mechanism used in conjunction with the WMM

feature, which puts unused data connections to

sleep. The primary use of this feature is in a heavy

VoIP environment. It is usually best to leave this

option disabled.
