Table 13. Advanced Wireless Configuration Options
Option Description
Transmit Power The default setting is Full. Select the level of
transmit power from the drop-down menu. This
option sets the maximum transmit power level
relative to the predefined power (this value
differs according to the current country code).
Protection Mode (Inactive by default.) If you activate protection,
you control how 802.11 devices know when they
should communicate with another device. This is
important in a mixed environment of both
802.11a and 802.11n clients.
WARNING: Activating this option (and
configuring the settings) boosts the
interoperability of 802.11a and 802.11n devices
but will severely decrease performance.
• CTS-only: Choose this option to force all
destination devices to acknowledge their
ability to receive data when a transmission is
initiated. Use this option for compliance with
the Wi-Fi Alliance certification.
• RTS/CTS: Choose this option to force both
sending and receiving devices to confirm a
data exchange on both ends before
proceeding.
