Transmit Power

The

Transmit Power

drop-down list contains different options for Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure mode. Automatic

(i.e., use the current AP settings) and Power Plus (use higher than the current AP settings) are available for

Infrastructure

mode.

Adjusting the radio transmission power level enables the user to expand or confine the transmission area with
respect to other wireless devices that could be operating nearby. Reducing coverage in high traffic areas
improves transmission quality by reducing the amount of interference in that coverage area.

Description

G/W

The default gateway forwards IP packets to and from a remote destination.

DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. DNS
translates domain names and IP addresses, and controls Internet email delivery. Most
Internet services require DNS to operate properly. If DNS is not configured, Web sites
cannot be located and/or email delivery fails.

WINS

WINS is a Microsoft

®

Net BIOS name server. WINS eliminates the broadcasts needed to

resolve computer names to IP addresses by providing a cache or database of
translations.
