Super G
Atheros’ Super G is a series of intelligent mechanisms that
engage when additional bandwidth is available and/or needed. It
increases the actual end user throughput of an 802.11a/b/g
network. These features include bursting, compression, fast
frames and Dynamic and Static Turbo. These features are
described briefly below.
Super G Feature Summary
Wi-Fi Channel
Number The radio channel used by the Wireless AP and its
clients to communicate with each other. This channel
must be the same on the Wireless AP and all of its
wireless clients.
The Wireless AP will automatically assign itself a radio
channel, or you may select one manually. (Default: 6)
Extend Range Increases the range of the Wireless AP.
(Default: Disable)
Feature Characteristics Benefit
Bursting • More data frames per given
time period
• Standards-based
• Relevant to STA
• Increase throughput via
overhead reduction
• 802.11e subset
• Advantage applies to any AP
Compression • Real-time hardware data
compression
• Standards-based
Lempel-Ziv-Welch
compression method
• Increased data throughput
using compressed frames
• No impact on host processor
Fast Frames • Utilizes frame aggregation
and timing modifications
• Increases throughput by
transmitting more data per
frame
