RTS Threshold  Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended.. If a network packet is smaller than the preset Request to Send (RTS) threshold size, the RTS/CTS (Clear to Send) mechanism will not be enabled.. The Router sends RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a CTS frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347
