)
Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network
overhead that could negatively affect the throughput
performance instead of providing a remedy.
6.2.2 Fragmentation Threshold
A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between 256 and 2432 bytes)
that can be sent in the wireless network before the HomeSafe will fragment the packet into
smaller data frames.
A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to interference while
you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or networks that are prone to interference.
If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value (see previously) you
set, then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to Send) handshake will never occur as data
frames will be fragmented before they reach RTS/CTS size.

If you are configuring the HomeSafe from a computer
connected to the wireless LAN and you change the
HomeSafe’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the
HomeSafe’s new settings.
