NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter WNDA3100v2 User Manual Figure 2-17 • 2.4GHz Preamble. An Auto setting might give slightly better performance. A Long setting might provide a more reliable connection or slightly longer range. • 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. You can change the wireless mode, though the default setting works for either 2.4 GHz or 5GHz wireless networks. If you change this setting, make sure that your wireless router or access point is capable of operating in the same wireless mode. • 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. 2-20 v1.0, June 2009
