Fragment Threshold:
Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when there is high traffic within
the wireless network. If you transmit large files in a wireless network, you can enable the
Fragmentation Threshold and specify the packet size. This specifies the maximum size a data
packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet. The setting range is 256-2346. For
example: If you set value as 256, it means the packet will be fragmented into “256” bytes while
transmitting.
RTS Threshold:
RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. If the size
of the packet transmitted is larger than the value you set, the RTS will be enabled. When the
RTS is activated, the station and its Access Point will use a (RTS/CTS) mechanism for data
transmission. The setting range is 0-2347.
Beacon Interval:
This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Access Point to keep the network synchronized. A beacon includes the wireless LAN
service area, the AP address, the Broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, Delivery
