Preamble Type Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the
wireless communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic
wireless network. “Long Preamble” can provide more reliable
communication.
Broadcast ESSID If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within
the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If
you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is
recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.
IAPP If you enable “IAPP”, the access point will automatically broadcast
information of associated wireless stations to its neighbors. This will help
wireless station roaming smoothly between access points. If you have
more than one access points in your wireless LAN and wireless stations
have roaming requirements, enabling this feature is recommended.
