Advanced Settings Page
Generally, the Advanced settings should not require adjustment. Except for the power saving
setting, changing any of the settings incorrectly on this page could cause your wireless connection
to fail.

• Power Saving: Select On if you are using a notebook computer running on battery power.
• Preamble: A long transmit preamble may provide a more reliable connection or slightly
longer range. A short transmit preamble might give slightly better performance.
• 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.
• Fragmentation Threshold: This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation. Packets
larger than the size programmed in this field will be fragmented. The Fragment Threshold
value must be larger than the RTS Threshold value.
• RTS/CTS Threshold: The packet size that is used to determine whether it should 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.
