Transmit Threshold

Advanced Setup

Fragment Length (256-2346): The Fragment Length can be set between 256 and 2,346. If the packet size is smaller than the preset fragment size, the packet will not be segmented.

Fragmentation of the packets can increase the reliability of transmission because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due to smaller frame size. If there is significant interference present or collisions due to high network utilization, try setting the fragment size to a smaller value. This will enable the retransmission of smaller frames much faster. However, it is more efficient to set a longer fragment length if very little or no interference is present because there are overhead costs in sending multiple frames. (Default: 2346)

RTS Length (256-2346): Set the RTS (Request to Send) frame length.

You may configure the access point to initiate an RTS frame sequence always, never, or only for frames longer than a specified length. If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled

The access point sends request to send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station to negotiate the transmission of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the station sends a CTS (Clear to Send) frame to acknowledge the right for the sending station to transmit data frames. Access points contending for the medium may not be aware of each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem.” (Default: 2346)
