6500 Series Residential Gateway User’s Guide Configuring Advanced Features
5. Optionally, configure the following items:
• Data Transfer Rate
If a particular wireless client is unable to auto-negotiate a connection to the Gateway, the data
transfer rate may be set to a specific data rate such as 11 Mbps for 802.11b wireless clients.
• RTS/CTS Threshold
A group of wireless clients may experience difficulty communicating with the Gateway without
interrupting each other’s communications. If this occurs, the RTS/CTS threshold may be set to a
higher number to allow them each a longer period in which to communicate with the Gateway
before the priority is switched to another wireless client wishing to transmit data.
• Fragmentation Threshold
The fragmentation threshold may be lowered to improve reliability in an excessively “noisy”
wireless environment if changing channels does not provide significant enough improvement.
