according to this value. For example, selecting “1” means
to check the buffered data at every beacon.
Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which
packets are fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of
as one block). Use a low setting in areas where
communication is poor or where there is a great deal of
radio interference. This function will help you to improve the
network performance.
RTS Threshold The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the
radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the
packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas
where many client devices are associating with the device,
or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect
only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting
ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
