enter sleep mode, thus saving power, but interferes with wireless
transmissions.
z Fragment Length (256-2346) – This specifies the maximum size a
data packet will be before splitting and creating a new packet and should
remain at its default setting of 2,346. A smaller setting means smaller
packets, which will create more packets for each transmission. If you have
decreased this value and experience high packet error rates, you can
increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network performance.
Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
z RTS/CTS Threshold (256-2346) – This setting determines how larget
a packet can be before the Access Point coordinates transmission and
reception to ensure efficient communication. This value should remain at
its default setting of 2,346. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow,
only minor modifications are recommended.
z Short Preamble – Preambles are a sequence of binary bits that help the
receivers synchronize and ready for receipt of a data transmission. Some
older wireless systems like 802.11b implementation use shorter preambles.
If you are having difficulty connecting to an older 802.11b device, try to
enable short preamble.
z Protection Mode – Protection Mode should remain default value (Auto)
unless you are having severe problems with your 11g Wireless LAN
products not being able to transmit to the Access Point in an environment
with heavy 802.11b traffic. To enable this function boosts the Access
Point’s ability to catch all 11g Wireless transmissions but will severely
decrease performance.
