Advanced Settings

On the Advanced Settings screen, you can configure your power savings settings, set the
fragmentation threshold, and RTS/CTS threshold of the adapter.

Parameter

Description

Power Saving Mode

Check the Power Saving Mode box and adjust the power
save level between 0 and 4. The higher the power save 
level, the lower the power used. Using lower power may 
slow down the adapter’s transmission rate.

Fragmentation Threshold

Defines the maximum size of a packet. Any packet larger 
than this value will be fragmented. If you have decreased
this value and are experiencing high packet error rates, 
you can increase the rate again, but it will likely decrease 
network performance. Minor changes are recommended.

RTS/CTS Threshold

Defines the minimum packet size for a Request to 
Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS). For packets smaller 
than this threshold, an RTS/CTS is not sent and the 
packet is transmitted directly to the LAN. Minor changes 
are recommended when adjusting this value.
