RTS Threshold | Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For |
| packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the |
| packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a |
| setting within a range of 0 to 2312 bytes. Minor change is |
| recommended. |
Fragment Threshold | 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 e rror rates, you can |
| increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network |
| performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2312 bytes. |
| Minor change is recommended. |
Channel | This setting is only available for Ad Hoc mode. Select the number |
| of the radio channel used for the networking. The channel setting |
| should be the same with the network you are connecting to. |
