Frag Thresh

2346

If the packet size (in bytes) exceeds the specified number of bytes set in

 

 

the fragment threshold, the packet is fragmented (sent as several pieces

 

 

instead of as one block). Use a low setting in areas where communication

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

 

RTS Thresh

2347

If the packet size exceeds the specified number of bytes set in the Request

 

 

to Send (RTS) threshold, an RTS is sent before sending the packet. A low

 

 

RTS threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices

 

 

are associating with the Access Point.

 

 

Options are: Any number between 0 and 2347.
