Threshold
The mechanism of Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the efficiency when
high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If your 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
Adapter often transmits large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment
Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2432. The
default value is
2432
.
RTS Threshold
RTS/CTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “
Hidden Node
”
problem. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, users have to specify the packet
size.
The RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value
you set.
The default value is
2432
.
This value should remain at its default setting of
2432
. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
