	Default value is 2346 bytes. The range of value is from 256 to 2346.

	RTS: Request To Send	CTS: Clear To Send
	The RTS/CTS length determines the packet size at or larger than the
RTS/CTS Length	set value. The radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending
	the packet.
	The primary reason for implementing RTS/CTS is to minimize
	collisions among hidden stations.
	Default value is 2346 bytes. The range of value is from 256 to 2346.
	This function provides better performance in high noise area. The
RSSI Threshold	device will ignore any signal below the set RSSI threshold.
	The default value is -90. The value ranges from -90 to -20.

	b) Chooses other settings available in the dropdown menu
	The radio preamble is a section of data at the head of a packet that
	contains information the Root Device and Remote devices need
	when sending and receiving packets.
	The dropdown menu allows the user to select a long, short or
Preamble Settings	dynamic radio preamble. The default is dynamic.
	Long: a long preamble provides a stable link
	Short: a short preamble improves throughput performance. But it only
	allows short preamble capable Remotes to be associated.
	Dynamic: a dynamic preamble allows mixing of short and long
	preambles
	The appropriate distance between the Root and the Remote devices
Distance	needs to be configured for best results.
	The range of the link, which corresponds to the ACK window size.
	Short 802.11g packets can be unwrapped and rebundled into a larger
	packet to reduce the impact of mandatory gaps between the packets.
Frame Bursting	This increases the speed of the 802.11g based wireless networks.
	Frame bursting is sometimes also called “packet bursting”.
	The benefit of concatenation is that it increases the throughput by
Concatenation	removing overheads from “extra” frames and interframe latencies.
	Piggy Back is a performance boosting feature which increases the
Piggy Back	effective transmission speed with no intervention.
