Fragmentation
Threshold:
The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN,
packets exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units
suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value
are not fragmented.
RTS Threshold:
. When set (in bytes), it specifies the packet size beyond which the Wireless
LAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold
trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller packets without using RTS/CTS.
802.11 Power Save
: For uninterrupted data communication, your may leave this option blank
to disable power saving features. To enable power saving features for your Wireless LAN
Card, please check this box.

Fragmentation/RTS
Threshold
parameters, move the slide bar with your mouse and then
use the right and left arrow keys of your keyboard to select an exact number in bytes.
