Change the CTS/RTS threshold or 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: We recommend that you 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.
NOTE: If the Smart Connect feature is enabled, the CTS/RTS threshold and
preamble mode apply to all radios. That means that you cannot change the
CTS/RTS threshold and preamble mode for each radio individually.
To change the CTS/RTS threshold or preamble mode for a radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5. In the CTS/RTS threshold (1-2347) field for a radio, enter a value from 1 to 2437.
The default value is 2347.
6. From the Preamble Mode menu for a radio, select the preamble mode:
•
Long Preamble: A long transmit preamble might provide a more reliable
connection or a slightly longer range.
•
Short Preamble: A short transmit preamble might give better performance.
