• Transmit Power: Lowering the output power level lets you reduce the chance of interference
with other nearby access points, but reduces the range of your adapter.
• Wireless Mode: Select the wireless protocols you will use. You can choose some or all of the
available 802.11 wireless protocols. Note that if the wireless network you are communicating
with uses the 108 Mbps 802.11g mode, you must include that in your selection (for example, if
you are using the WAG511 with the NETGEAR WGT624 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall
Router).
• Fragmentation Threshold: This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets
larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragmentation Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS/CTS Threshold value.
• RTS/CTS Threshold: The packet size that is used to determine whether to use the CSMA/CD
(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA
(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) mechanism for packet
transmission. CSMA/CD is slightly more efficient.
