Only, 11b Only, Mixed (11g+11n), 11n Only and Mixed

(11b+11g+11n) stations simultaneously. Simply choose Mix

(11b+11g+11n) mode.

Hide SSID

Check it to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it harder

for unauthorized clients or STAs to join your wireless LAN.

Depending on the wireless utility, the user may only see the

information except SSID or just cannot see any thing about

Vigor wireless router while site surveying. The system allows

you to set four sets of SSID for different usage. In default, the

first set of SSID will be enabled. You can hide it for your

necessity.

Long Preamble

This option is to define the length of the sync field in an

802.11 packet. Most modern wireless network uses short

preamble with 56 bit sync filed instead of long preamble with

128 bit sync field. However, some original 11b wireless

network devices only support long preamble. Check it to use

Long Preamble

if needed to communicate with this kind of

devices.

Packet-OVERDRIVE

This feature can enhance the performance in data transmission

about 40%* more (by checking

Tx Burs

t). It is active only

when both sides of Access Point and Station (in wireless

client) invoke this function at the same time. That is, the

wireless client must support this feature and invoke the

function, too.

Note:

Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.

Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching

with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of

Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose

Enable

for

TxBURST

on the tab of

Option

).
