Advanced Wireless Settings
Transm±t
Power
Normally
the
wireless
transmitter
operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, there
may be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller
area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent
transmissions from reaching beyond the designated
wireless area.
RTS Threshold
When excessive wireless packet collisions
are occuring, wireless performance can be improved
by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to
send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when the data frame
size (in bytes) is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting
should remain at the default setting of
³34µ bytes
.
Fragmentat±on
Threshold
Wireless
frames
can
be
divided
into
smaller
units
(fragments)
to
improve
performance in the presence of RF interference and at
the limits of RF coverage. Fragmentation will occur when
the frame size (in bytes) is greater than the Fragmentation
threshold. Setting this value too low may result in poor
performance.
A-MPDU Aggregat±on
Aggregation of wireless packets
based on MAC protocol data units is a technique for
maximizing performance. This option should normally be
left enabled.
Short GI
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase
throughput. However, it can also increase error rate in
some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-
frequency reflections. Select the option that works best
for your installation.
Advanced > WISH
WISH
(Wireless
Intelligent
Stream
Handling)
is
a
technology developed to enhance your experience using
a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different
applications.

WISH
Enable WISH
Enable this option if you want to allow
WISH to prioritize your traffic.
Priority Classifiers
HTTP
Allows the Adapter to recognize HTTP transfers for
many common audio and video streams and prioritize
them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently
used by digital media players.

Dual-Band W±reless-N Gam±ng Adapter
W±ndows Med±a Center
Enables the router to recognize
certain audio and video streams generated by a Windows
Media Center PC and prioritize these streams above other
traffic. These streams are used by systems known as
Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
Automat±c
When enabled, this option causes the router
to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic steams that it
doesn’t otherwise recognize, based on the behavior that
the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that
exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as file transfers,
while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP,
running at a normal priority.
Add WISH Rule
A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns
a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority
classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH
Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one
rule matches a specific message flow, the rule with the
highest priority is used.
Enable
This option is used to enable WISH.
Name
Enter a name for the rule.
Pr±or±ty
The priority of the message flow is entered here.
Four priorities are defined:
BK
Background (least urgent)
BE
Best effort
VI
Video
VO
Voice (most urgent)
Protocol
Select the protocol from the drop-down list.
The default selection is
Any
.
Host ² IP Range
The rule will only apply to a flow of
messages that are from a computer with an IP address in
the range specified here.
Host ² Port Range
The rule will apply to a flow of
messages that fall within the values defined in the
Host IP
1 Range
field and also utilize a port defined in the
Host 1
Port Range
field.
Host ³ IP Range
The rule will only apply to a flow of
messages that are from a computer with an IP address in
the range specified here.
Host ³ Port Range
The rule will apply to a flow of
messages that fall within the values defined in the
Host IP
2 Range
field and also utilize a port defined in the
Host 2
Port Range
field.
