packet is fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas

Thresh

where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of wireless interference.

 

 

 

Options are: Any number between 256 bytes and 2346 bytes.

 

 

 

 

 

If the packet size exceeds the specified number of bytes set in the Request to Send (RTS) threshold,
