"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:

Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.

For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.

Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

WiFi Adapter Settings Description

Note: Not all settings described are available for all adapters. You may not see all settings listed

here.

Name Description

802.11ac Mode (5GHz)

802.11n Channel Width (2.4GHz)

802.11n Channel Width (5GHz)

The 802.11ac standard builds on 802.11n standard. 802.11ac Mode delivers up to 867Mbps (theoretical) by increasing channel bandwidth to 80MHz and adding higher density modulation (256 QAM). Select Enabled or Disabled to set the 802.11ac mode of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to 802.11ac capable adapters only.

Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the channel width to Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are restricted. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.

NOTE: This setting does not apply to the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (uses 20 MHz channel width only).

Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the channel width to Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are restricted. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.

NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:

 Intel® WiFi Link 1000  Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN

802.11n Mode

The 802.11n standard builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). MIMO increases data throughput to

Ad Hoc Channel

802.11b/g Ad Hoc QoS

Mode

improve transfer rate. Select Enabled or Disabled to set the 802.11n mode of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to

802.11n capable adapters only. Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only. 802.11n Mode must be enabled to support 802.11ac. Disabling 802.11n Mode will disabled 802.11ac.

NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2*-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.

An administrator can enable or disable support for high throughput mode to reduce power-consumption or conflicts with other bands or compatibility issues.

Select Enabled or Disabled.

Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides prioritization of traffic from the access point over a wireless LAN based on traffic classification. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is the QoS certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the WiFi adapter uses WMM to support priority tagging and queuing capabilities for Wi-Fi networks.

Bluetooth® AMP

HT Mode/VHT Mode/Disabled

Fat Channel Intolerant

 WMM Enabled (Default)  WMM Disabled

Enable or disable Bluetooth® AMP. AMP stands for alternate MAC/PHY and uses the 802.11 (Wi-Fi) as the highspeed tranport. If disabled, Bluetooth HS is turned off.

This settings lets you select HT Mode (High Throughput mode), VHT Mode (Very High Throughput Mode) or to disable both modes. HT Mode supports

802.11n compatiblity, whereas VHT Mode supports 802.11ac compatiblity. This setting communicates to access points that this WiFi adapter does not

prefer 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band. The default setting is for this to be turned off (disabled), so that the adapter does not send this notification. If the access point continues to use 40MHz channels, the WiFi adapter will also use 40MHz channels if the 802.11n Channel Width (2.4GHz) setting is AUTO.

NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:

 Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_  Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

Mixed mode protection

Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment. Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be used in an

Preferred Band

environment where clients may not hear each other. CTS-to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an environment where clients are in close proximity and can hear each other.

In an environment with other radiating devices nearby (such as microwave ovens, cordless telephones, access points, or client devices), in order to reduce interference you may want prefer the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz band, or vice-versa. Your choices are:

 No Preference  Prefer 2.4GHz band  Prefer 5GHz band

Here are the various Wi-Fi bands:

 802.11 legacy - 2.4GHz  802.11a - 3.7GHz and 5GHz  802.11b - 2.4GHz  802.11g - 5GHz  802.11n - 2.4GHz and 5GHz  802.11ac - 5GHz

Roaming Aggressiveness

Transmit Power

This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to improve connection to an access point. There are five avaialbe settings.

 3. Medium: This is the default. A balanced setting between not

roaming and performance.

 1. Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link

quality degradation causes it to roam to another access point.

 5. Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality.

If any degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access point.

Default Setting: Highest power setting.

Lowest: Minimum Coverage: Set the adapter to the lowest transmit power.

Enables you to expand the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage area. Reduces the coverage area in high traffic areas to improve overall transmission quality and avoids congestion and interference with other devices.

Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to a maximum transmit power level. Select for maximum performance and range in environments with limited additional WiFi radio devices.

NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at

Wake on Magic Packet

Wake on Pattern Match

the lowest possible level that is still compatible with the quality of their communication. This allows the maximum number of wireless devices to operate in dense areas and reduce interference with other devices that it shares the same radio spectrum with.

NOTE: This setting takes effect when either Network (Infrastructure) or Device to Device (ad hoc) mode is used.

This setting, enabled, wakes the computer from a sleep state when it receives a "magic packet" from a sending computer. The magic packet contains the MAC address of the intended destination cmputer.

Enabling turns on Wake on Magic Packet. Disabling turns off Wake on Magic Packet. Disabling this only disables the magic packet feature, not Wake on Wireless LAN.

This feature wakes the computer from a sleep state when a particular wake pattern is received at the adapter. This feature is supported by the Window* 7 and Windows 8. Such patterns typically are:

 Wake on new incoming TCP connection for IPv4 and IPv6 (TCP

SYN IPv4 and TCP SYN IPv6).

 Wake on 802.1x re-authentication packets.

Wireless Mode

OK Cancel

Disabling this only disables the pattern match feature, not Wake on Wireless LAN.

Select which mode to use for connection to a wireless network:

 802.11a only: Connect the wireless WiFi adapter to 802.11a

networks only. Not applicable for all adapters.

 802.11b only: Connect the wireless WiFi adapter to 802.11b
