Advanced Wireless Settings

Transmt Power

Normally the wireless transmitter

operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, there
may be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller
area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent
transmissions from reaching beyond the designated
wireless area.

RTS Threshold

When excessive wireless packet collisions

are occuring, wireless performance can be improved
by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to
send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when the data frame
size (in bytes) is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting
should remain at the default setting of 34 bytes.

Fragmentaton Threshold

Wireless frames can be

divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve
performance in the presence of RF interference and at
the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when
the frame size (in bytes) is greater than the Fragmentation
threshold. Setting this value too low may result in poor
performance.

A-MPDU Aggregaton

Aggregation of wireless packets

based on MAC protocol data units is a technique for
maximizing performance. This option should normally be
left enabled.

Short GI

Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase

throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in
some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-
frequency reflections. Select the option that works best
for your installation.

Advanced > WISH

WISH (Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling) is a
technology developed to enhance your experience using
a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different
applications.

Advanced > WISH

WISH

Enable WISH

Enable this option if you want to allow

WISH to prioritize your traffic.

Priority Classifiers

HTTP

Allows the Adapter to recognize HTTP transfers for

many common audio and video streams and prioritize
them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently
used by digital media players.
