A hardware device that connects two separately functional networks using the same or different protocols. Routers look at the destination addresses on the packets passing through them and then decide which route to send them on.
It sets the RTS threshold. Any packet size above this value, requires RTS. For packets smaller than this threshold value, RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless LAN.
