Chapter 4 Pres-Shared Key Pre-Shared Key Enter the pre-shared key used by the network. It should be between 8-63 characters. Advanced > Advanced Wireless Advanced Configuration Short GI Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radiofrequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation. Advanced > WISH WISH (Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling) is a technology developed to enhance your experience using a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different applications. Advanced > Advanced Wireless Advanced Wireless Settings Transmit Power Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, there may be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond the designated wireless area. RTS Threshold When excessive wireless packet collisions are occuring, wireless performance can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when the data frame size (in bytes) is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at the default setting of 2346 bytes. Fragmentation Threshold Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve performance in the presence of RF interference and at the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when the frame size (in bytes) is greater than the Fragmentation threshold. Setting this value too low may result in poor performance. A-MPDU Aggregation Aggregation of wireless packets based on MAC protocol data units is a technique for maximizing performance. This option should normally be left enabled. Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter Advanced > WISH WISH Enable WISH Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize your traffic. Priority Classifiers HTTP Allows the Adapter to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and video streams and prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital media players. 13
