4.2.2.3. Advanced • Fragment Threshold: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to
improve performance on noisy networks. Specify a value between 256 and 2346. The
default value is 2346.
• RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to
maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from degrading the
performance. Specify a value between 0 and 2347. The default value is 2347.
• Data rate: You may select a data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is recommended
to select auto. This is also known as auto-fallback.
• N Data Rate: You may select N data rate from the drop-down list, however, it is
recommended to select auto.
• Channel Bandwidth: Select channel bandwidth. (Auto 20/40MHz or 20MHz)
• Preamble Type: Select a short or long preamble. For optimum performance it is
recommended to also configure the client device as the same preamble type.
• CTS Protection: CTS (Clear to Send) can be always enabled, auto, or disabled. By enabled
CTS, the Access Point and clients will wait for a ‘clear’ signal before transmitting. It is
recommended to select auto.
