Wireless Mode 802.11 B/G mix – If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g
wireless stations in your network, it is recommended to setting the
card to this mode. This mode is also the default setting.
802.11 B or G only – This card can be compatible with both
802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11b
wireless stations in the network, you can set the card to this mode.
The same goes with 802.11g only wireless stations.
Turbo Mode Turbo Mode enables the card to deliver the better throughput in
the same period and environment.
B/G Protection If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations in the
network, it is recommended that you enable the protection
mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data
collisions between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When
the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the card will be
a little lower due to more complex data packets that must be
transmitted.
Auto – Based on the status of the network and automatically
disable/enable protection mode.
On – Always enable the protection mode.
Off – Always disable the protection mode.
Fast Roaming These settings should only be used for advanced system
administrators only.
Tx Rate There are several options including
Auto/1/2/5.5/11/6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps for you to select.
When the “Auto” is selected, the device will choose the most
suitable transmission rate automatically. The higher data rate you
designated in the network, the shorter distance is allowed
between the card and the wireless stations.
When the wireless mode is “802.11 B only”, the maximum data
rate is 11Mbps (11b) so that there are only “Auto/1/2/5.5/11Mbps”
options you can select.
Turn Off RF Button If you want to turn off the radio of the card temporarily, click this
button. To turn on the radio, click this button again.
