Figure 42 Station Mode: Adapter ZyXEL G-202 User's Guide The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 14 Station Mode: Adapter LABEL Adapter Setting Transfer Rate Preamble Type DESCRIPTION In most networking scenarios, the factory default Fully Auto setting is the most efficient and allows your G-202 to operate at the highest possible transmission (data) rate. If you want to select a specific transmission rate, select one that the AP or peer wireless device supports. Note: With USB1.0/1.1, the G-202 can only transmit at up to 11Mbps. Note: At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows Vista. Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Select the preamble type that the AP uses. Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless adapters support Long preamble, but not all support short preamble. Select Auto to have the G-202 automatically use short preamble when all access point or wireless stations support it; otherwise the G-202 uses long preamble. Note: The G-202 and the access point or wireless stations MUST use the same preamble mode in order to communicate. Note: At the time of writing this field is not available on Windows Vista.
