You can view or configure the following settings:
•
Fragmentation Length (256-2346)
: This is the maximum packet size used for
fragmentation. Packets larger than the size programmed in this field are fragmented.
•
CTS/RTS Threshold (1-2347)

mechanism for wireless packet transmission.

Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS)
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect to a wireless network without entering its
passphrase or wireless key. Instead, you use a button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you have a NETGEAR router, this feature is called Push ‘N’ Connect. Look for the
or
symbol on the router to make sure the NETGEAR router supports WPS. For
non-NETGEAR routers, refer to the user manual to determine if the router supports WPS.
Note:
The
Wireless Travel Router (WNTR2001) Installation Guide
explains how to use WPS during installation.
