Fragment Threshold To fragment MSDU or MMPDU into small sizes of
frames for increasing the reliability of frame (The
maximum value of 4096 means no fragmentation is
needed) transmission. The performance will be
decreased as well, thus a noisy environment is
recommended.
RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of
4096. Should you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications of this value are
recommended.
Preamble A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment
to synchronize the transmitting timing including
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. (Note: If
you want to change the Preamble type into Long or
Short, please check the setting of AP.)

options for the sharing of wireless networks to
verify identity and access privileges of roaming
wireless network cards.

Auto Switch: Select Auto Switch for the adapter to
select the Authentication type automatically
depending on the Access Point Authentication type.

acknowledgement appears from the receiving
station.
