Transmit Power

Level

Selects the transmit power level for 80211b/g in mW. Actual transmit

• Normal: uses maximum when retrieving a large number of

packets, then switches back to power save mode after retrieving

the packets.

• Off: turns power saving off, thus powering up the wireless

adapter continuously for a short message response time.
