Description
Channel Number
A channel is the radio frequency used
by an 802.11b/g wireless device. The
channels that are available depend on
your geographical area. If another
access point is nearby, use a different
channel to reduce signal interference.
Interference occurs when the radio
signal from a different access point
overlaps with your signal, degrading
performance.
Select a channel number from the
drop-down list.
Send Rate
The rate of the data transmission.
Choose between:
•
11Mb/s for 802.11b networks
•
54 Mb/s for 802.11g networks
•
Auto, to adjust automatically to the
available data transmission rate of
the current wireless network.
Radio Power (mW)
The radio transmission power
consumption. The greater the power
consumption, the farther the signal will
reach.
