Parameter | Description |
|
|
Fragement | The value defines the maximum size of packets, any packet size |
| larger than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased |
| this value and experience high packet error rates, you can |
| increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network |
| performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes. |
| Minor change is recommended. |
RTS / CTS | Minimum packet size required for an RTS/CTS (Request To |
| Send/Clear to Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an |
| RTS/CTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the |
| WLAN. Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes. Minor |
| change is recommended. |
Preamble | The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for |
| communication among the wireless networks. There are two |
| modes including Long and Short. High network traffic areas |
