Configuration - Advanced

ThisAdvanced page is intended for experienced users to set up additional parameters for the WLAN card. We recommend that you keep the default values.

RTS Threshold (0-2347) - The Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router

refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.

Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346) - Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.

Preamble Mode - Select the preamble mode. The default value is Auto.
