Configuring Atheros Advanced Capabilities
The Atheros tab is useful in optimizing the operation of distant MicroRed nodes. 
Figure 51. Atheros Settings
Link Distance
Setting the Link Distance can be effective in optimizing operation of a node. 
When Link Distance is defined, the acknowledge timeout is configured according 
to the distance. In noisy environments, where many retries occur, acknowledge 
timeout should be configured accordingly to the distance between the nodes. To 
set this parameter, type the distance (in meters) into the Link Distance text 
box.
Fast Frames
Fast Frames 
 is a feature of Atheros-based technologies that utilizes 
frame
aggregation
 and timing modifications to increase the data throughput rate of the 
system. It increases throughput by transmitting more data per frame and 
removing inter-frame pauses. To implement fast frames, select the Fast Frames
check box. 
Packet Bursting 
Packet Bursting
 is another technique used by Atheros-based technologies to 
increase throughput by decreasing overhead and sending more data frames per 
given period of time. To implement packet bursting, select the packet Bursting
check box. 
WMM (Layer 2 QoS)/ Advanced WMM Settings
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a priority-based Quality of Service method used in 
implementing Voice over WLANs. To implement WMM, select the WMM (Layer 
QoS)
 check box, and then click the Advanced WMM Parameters dialog box.
