Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to
prevent data collisions. When you enable RTS Threshold on a
suspect “hidden station”, this station and its Access Point will
use a Request to Send/Clear to Send protocol (RTS/CTS). The
station will send an RTS to the Access Point, informing that it is
going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will
respond with a CTS message to all station within its range to
notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also
confirm the requestor station that the Access Point has
reserved it for the time-frame of the requested transmission.
Normally the default setting is used if you aren’t concerned
with the “Hidden Node” problem. If the “Hidden Node”
problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS
mechanism will be activated if the packet size exceeds the
value you set. It is highly recommended that you set the
value ranging from 64 to 1500. The default value is

NOTE: Enabling RTS Threshold might cause redundant network
overhead that could negatively affect the throughput
performance instead of providing a remedy
