"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.

Intel® WiFi Adapter Information Guide

index.htm[9/18/2014 10:05:14 AM]

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."

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).

802.11n

Channel Width

(5.2 GHz)

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 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.

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.

Ad Hoc

Channel

802.11b/g

Select Enabled or Disabled.

Ad Hoc QoS

Mode 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.

WMM Enabled (Default)

WMM Disabled

Bluetooth® Enable or disable Bluetooth® AMP. AMP stands for alternate MAC/PHY and uses the 802.11 (Wi-

AMP Fi) as the high-speed transport. If disabled, Bluetooth HS is turned off.

HT Mode/VHT

Mode/Disabled 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 compatibility, whereas VHT Mode

supports 802.11ac compatibility.

Fat Channel

Intolerant 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 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.

Preferred Band 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 - 2.4GHz

802.11n - 2.4GHz and 5GHz

802.11ac - 5GHz

Roaming

AggressivenessThis setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to improve connection to

an access point. There are five available 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.

Transmit

Power 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 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

INFORMATION FOR THE USER

Safety Notices

USA FCC Radio Frequency Exposure

The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)

electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure limits

found in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according

to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.

The following safety precautions should be observed:

Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.

Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed

parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.

Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; this behavior may cause

damage to the radio.

Use in specific environments:

The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety

directors of such environments.

The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.

Explosive Device Proximity Warning

Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter) near unshielded blasting caps

or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.

Antenna Warnings

Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.

The Wireless Adapter and Your Health

The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy

emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices

such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety

standards and recommendations. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific

community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret

the extensive research literature. In some situations or environments, the use of the wireless adapter may be

restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of

such situations may include:

Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or

Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference with other devices or

services is perceived or identified as being harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specific organization or

environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the adapter before you

turn it on.
