7.3 Wireless Advanced Settings
Data Rate
Select Data Rate from the drop down list. Data rate will affect the 
efficiency of the throughput. A lower data rate will allow for 
transmissions to travel longer distances. 
Transmit Power
Select Transmit Power to increase or decrease the transmit power. 
Altering the transmit power will change the wireless coverage 
area correspondingly; however, setting the Transmit Power to an 
extreme level may cause issues for wireless connectivity. 
RTS/CTS Threshold
Specify Threshold package size for RTC/CTS. Smaller thresholds 
will cause RTS/CTS packets to be sent more often, consuming 
more of the available bandwidth. In addition, if heavy traffic 
occurs, the wireless network is more robust in the event of 
interference or collisions. 
Distance
Specify distance range between AP and Clients. Farther distances 
may utilize lower connection speeds. 
Short GI
Short GI is an improvement of 802.11n and 802.11a/g. It can 
increase performance by 10% during the data transmission. For 
example, if the 802.11a/g’s GI is 800μs, the short GI will be 400μs.
