Max. Frame 
Burst  

Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks 
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the 
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks. Maximum 
Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the HomeSafe transmits 
IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.  

Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800 
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature. The default is 650.
