CTS Mode-

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions
among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN).
CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wire-
less client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will
add overhead and may lower wireless throughput.

Auto-

CTS will monitor the wireless network and automati-
cally decide whether to implement CTS based on
the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on
the wireless network.

Always-

CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless
LAN is clear before sending data.

None-

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment.
If CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment
populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may
occur frequently.
