RTS/CTS

Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS (Request To Send)/

Threshold

CTS (Clear To Send) handshake.

 

Enter a value between 0 and 2347.

 

 

Fragmentation

The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.

Threshold

It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter an even number between

 

256 and 2346.

 

 

Channel Width

Select whether the WRE2205 uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or Auto 20/40MHz.

 

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz

 

channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Because not all

 

devices support 40MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the WRE2205 to adjust

 

the channel bandwidth automatically.
