1 Fragment Threshold
This value indicates how much of the Access Point’s resources are devoted to
recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If
you have decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can
increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance. Only minor
modifications of this value are recommended. The setting range is 256 ~ 2346.
1 RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. The setting range
is 0 ~ 2347.
