Subnetwork or Subnet
Found in larger networks, these smaller networks are used to simplify addressing between numerous
computers. Subnets connect to the central network through a router, hub or gateway. Each individual
wireless LAN will probably use the same subnet for all the local computers it talks to.
Super A
Super A is an Atheros proprietary turbo mode to increase speed over standard 802.11a mode. It adds
Bursting and Compression to increase the speed. If you live in countries that prohibit the channel
binding technology (i.e. Europe), you should choose “Super-A without Turbo) if you need more speed
than 11a mode
TCP
A layer-4 protocol used along with the IP to send data between computers over the Internet. While IP
takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the packets
that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet.
Turbo A
Turbo A is an Atheros proprietary turbo mode to increase speed over standard 802.11a mode. It uses
channel binding technology to increase speed. There are 2 types of Turbo A modes: Dynamic Turbo
and Static Turbo. In Dynamic Turbo, the channel binding will be used only if necessary. In Static
Turbo, the channel binding is always on. This protocol may be combined with Super-A model to
increase the performance even more. The used of channel binding might be prohibited in EU
countries.
TX Output Power
Transmit Output Power. The TX output power means the transmission output power of the radio.
Normally, the TX output power level limit for 2.4GHz 11g/b is 20dBm at the antenna end. The output
power limit for 5GHz 802.11a is 30dBm at the antenna end.
