station in the Wireless LAN network without through an Access Point or

 

Router.

Preamble

The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication

 

among wireless devices. This option is only active in the Ad Hoc network.

 

There are two modes including Auto and Long Preamble. If “Auto“mode

 

is selected, the card will auto switch the preamble mode depending on

 

the wireless devices the card is connecting to.

RTS Threshold

Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For

 

packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is

 

transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a setting within a

 

range of 0 to 2347 bytes. Minor change is recommended.

Fragment Threshold

The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size larger

 

than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased this value and

 

experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but it will

 

likely decrease overall network performance. Select a setting within a

 

range of 256 to 2346 bytes. Minor change is recommended.
