Change the CTS/RTS threshold and
preamble mode for a radio
For most WiFi networks, the CTS/RTS threshold and preamble mode work fine and we
recommend that you do not change the settings. (In general, these settings are intended
for WiFi testing.)
CAUTION:
Do not change these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support or
unless you are sure what the consequences are. Incorrect settings might disable the
WiFi function of a radio unexpectedly.
IMPORTANT: If the smart connect feature is enabled, the CTS/RTS threshold and
preamble mode apply to both radios. That means that you cannot change the CTS/RTS
threshold and preamble mode for each radio individually.
To change the CTS/RTS threshold and preamble mode for a radio:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
•
Connect directly to the AP’s WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
•
Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 34.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Dismiss a browser security warning on page 39.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
