4.2.7.8 Rate Control

Select here to change the Data Rate for the radio. Lower data rate sometimes provide

longer distance. In most cases, however, we recommend to keep the setting at “Best”.

4.2.7.9 Ack TimeOut

When a packet is sent out from one wireless station to the other, it will waits for an

Acknowledgement frame from the remote station. The station will only wait for a certain

amount of time, this time is called the ACK timeout. If the ACK is NOT received within that

timeout period then the packet will be re-transmitted resulting in reduced throughput. If

the ACK setting is too high, then throughput will be lost due to waiting for the Ack Window to

timeout on lost packets. If the ACK setting is too low then the ACK window will have expired
