Advanced Wireless Settings Fields
The following fields are available in the advanced Wireless Settings screen:
• RTS Threshold (0–2347). Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to
determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection) mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the
CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet
until the silence period ends. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the
transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the
receiving station to send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual
packet data. The default is 2347.
• Fragmentation Length (256–2346). This is the maximum packet size. Packets larger
than the size specified in this field is fragmented. The Fragmentation Length value has to
be larger than the RTS Threshold value. The default is 2346.
• Beacon Interval (100–1000). The time interval between 100 ms and 1000 ms for each
beacon transmission, which allows the access point to synchronize the wireless network.
The default is 100.
• Aggregation Length (1024 – 65535). The aggregation length defines the size of
aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths can sometimes lead to better network
performance. The default is 65535.
• AMPDU. Aggregated MAC Pprotocol data unit. Aggregates several MAC frames into a
single large frame to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled.
