Installation Guide for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311 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. Figure 3-7: Advanced Settings page • 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. • Wireless Mode: Select the wireless protocols you will use. Depending on your wireless adapter, 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 802.11a Turbo mode, you must include that in your selection. • 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. Configuration 3-13
