Fragment Threshold
- This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is 256-2346 bytes.
It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience
a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation
Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are
recommended.
RTS Threshold
- This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is 1-2347 bytes. Should
you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is
smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends
Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame.
After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the
right to begin transmission.
Beacon Period
- The default value is 100. Enter a value between 20 and 999 milliseconds. The Beacon
Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router
to synchronize the wireless network.
