Config - Advanced
Click Advanced link on Config-Basic page to
show this tab. This tab allows you to set up
additional parameters for the network adapter. We
recommend using the default values for all items
in this window.
RTS Threshold (0-2347)
The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send)
function is used to minimize collisions among
wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a
data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by
setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)
Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that
are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific
packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN,
experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame
transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
Frame Bursting
Frame Bursting technology improves wireless network efficiency and boosts
throughput.
Preamble Mode
• Long: Higher quality but with lower performance that Short mode.
• Short: Normal quality but with higher performance than Long mode.
• Auto: Uses the current mode. This is the default mode.
54g Protection
54g Protection Mode is a mechanism of prefixing each OFDM data frame with a
request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) complimentary code keying (CCK) frame
sequence. The duration fields of the RTS and CTS frames should allow the IEEE
802.11b node to correctly set its network allocation vector and avoid collisions with
the subsequent OFDM frames. Configuration options: Disable (default), Enable
