RTS Threshold
The DAP-3860 sends RTS (Request to Send) frames to certain receiving station and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, that STA responds with a CTS (Clear to Send) frame
to acknowledge the right to start transmission. The setting range is 0-2346 in byte.
Fragmentation Length
Specify the maximum size in byte for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets.
Setting it too low may result in poor network performance. Leave it at its default of 2346 is
recommended.
Distance in Meters
To decrease the chances of data retransmission at long distance, DAP-3860 can auto adjust proper
ACK timeout value by specifying distance of the two nodes. Default distance is 10km. This will be
only usefully in CSMA mode.
