PLCP Header: Specifies the header type (Long or Short) used for CCK rates.Īntenna Diversity: When a client has two or more antennas, you can choose which receives the signals, perhaps useful if using a single aftermarket antenna, or leave it set to automatic if using the factory antennas.īluetooth Collaboration: Helps reduce the client’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapters transmissions from interfering. It either utilizes a WMM capable wireless access point or client enhancements that don’t require support from the access point.Īfterburner: Enables support of a proprietary throughput boosting technology from Broadcom for use with 802.11g, which must also be supporting by the access point to see the benefit. Intel Throughput Enhancement: Enables support of a throughput boosting technology from Intel that utilizes packet bursting for transmissions. Xpress Technology: Standards-based frame bursting technology, based on 802.11e and WMM, from Broadcom that can improve throughput, especially in mixed 802.11b/g networks. It can help increase the performance of sensitive traffic such as audio, video, and voice applications. WME: Enables Wireless Multimedia Extensions, also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is an automated quality of service (QoS) function. Typically, the default value is 2347 and is recommended unless you have a hidden node issue, which is where clients are far apart and can’t hear each other but both can hear the AP. RTS Threshold: Maximum number of bytes a packet can contain before the request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) is enabled. Typically, the default value is 2346 and is recommended unless there’s a large number of collisions and/or interference. Optimization settingsįragmentation Threshold: Maximum number of bytes a packet can contain before they are broken up and sent in fragments.
They can help solve connectivity and compatibility issues, and improve performance as well. Here I list and discuss many of these advanced wireless client settings, giving you an idea of what they do and how you can utilize them.

Keep in mind, the exact advanced settings and their names differ between vendors, adapter models, and even between different driver versions. Now I discuss those for wireless adapters, which are also on the Advanced tab of the network adapter Properties. Recently, I reviewed advanced adapter settings for wired connections.
