so that the adapter does not send this notification.
NOTE: This setting is does not apply to the following adapters:
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Mixed mode
protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment. Request to
Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be used in an environment where clients may not hear
each other. CTS-to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an environment where clients
are in close proximity and can hear each other.
Power
Management
Lets you select a balance between power consumption and WiFi adapter performance. The WiFi
adapter power settings slider sets a balance between the computer's power source and the
battery.
Use default value: (Default) Power settings are based on the computer's power source.
Manual: Adjust the slider for the desired setting. Use the lowest setting for maximum
battery life. Use the highest setting for maximum performance.
NOTE: Power consumption savings vary based on Network (Infrastructure) settings.
Roaming
Aggressiveness
This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to improve connection
to an access point.
Default: Balanced setting between not roaming and performance.
Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link quality degradation
causes it to roam to another access point.
Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality. If any degradation
occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access point.
Throughput
Enhancement
Changes the value of the Packet Burst Control.
Enable: Select to enable throughput enhancement.
Disable: (Default) Select to disable throughput enhancement.
Transmit
Power
Default Setting: Highest power setting.
Lowest: Minimum Coverage.: Set the adapter to the lowest transmit power. Enables you to
expand the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage area. Reduces the coverage area
in high traffic areas to improve overall transmission quality and avoids congestion and
interference with other devices.
Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to a maximum transmit power level. Select
for maximum performance and range in environments with limited additional WiFi radio
devices.
NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at the lowest possible
level that is still compatible with the quality of their communication. This allows the maximum
number of wireless devices to operate in dense areas and reduce interference with other
devices that it shares the same radio spectrum with.
NOTE: This setting takes effect when either Network (Infrastructure) or Device to Device (ad
hoc) mode is used.
Wireless Mode Select which mode to use for connection to a wireless network:
802.11a only: Connect the wireless WiFi adapter to 802.11a networks only. Not
applicable for all adapters.
802.11b only: Connect the wireless WiFi adapter to 802.11b networks only. Not
applicable for all adapters.
802.11g only: Connect the wireless WiFi adapter to 802.11g networks only.
802.11a and 802.11g: Connect the WiFi adapter to 802.11a and 802.11g networks
only. Not applicable for all adapters.
