CTS Mode-

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions

 

among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN).

 

CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wire-

 

less client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will

 

add overhead and may lower wireless throughput.

 

None-

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment.

 

 

If CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment

 

 

populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may

 

 

occur frequently.

 

Always- CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless

 

 

LAN is clear before sending data.

 

Auto-

CTS will monitor the wireless network and automati-

 

 

cally decide whether to implement CTS based on

 

 

the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on

 

 

the wireless network.

802.11g only mode- Select this mode to restrict your network to only those devices that employ the 802.11g standard. Enabling this mode will en- sure that you maintain the highest connectivity rate, unhampered by any connection to an 802.11b device.
