LABEL DESCRIPTION
RTS/CTS
Threshold Enter a value between 256 and 2346 if you want to use the RTS
(Request to Send) / CTS (Clear to Send) mechanism to reduce potential
packet collisions.
If you notice that your Wi-Fi clients are suffering from data loss or slow
data packet transmission/reception, use this feature.
Note:
Setting the value to 2346 effectively turns this off.
Fragmentation
Threshold Enter a value between 256 and 2346 if you want to use the
Fragmentation Threshold mechanism. This reduces packet loss resulting
from signal interference (such as from other nearby wireless
transmitters) by pre-emptively and logically fragmenting data packets
and reassemblnig them at their destination.
As with the RTS/CTS Threshold mechanism, using this feature can
improve network performance if you are detecting an abnormal number
of packet collisions.
Note: Setting the value to 2346 effectively turns this off.
