Threshold
RTS(Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) enables RTS/CTS

RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum
MSDU (MAC Service Data Unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this attribute to zero turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value
between 0 and 2432. 2432
Frag.
Threshold
The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a
value between 256 and 2432. 2432

If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 5 characters
or 10 hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key (1-4).
