Configuring the RTS Threshold Setting
The RTS (Request To Send) Threshold sets the minimum data block size that is
sent for any connection speed to avoid transmission collision and the resulting
errors, loss of data, or throughput decrease. CSMA/CA protocol defines that an
RTS-CTS frame exchange shall be performed to avoid transmission collision
before the actual data frame is sent. RTS Threshold range is between 100 and
2346, with 2346 being the default setting.
To change the RTS Threshold:
1. In the Access Point Configuration dialog box, click the Wireless tab.
2. Click Advanced.
3. In the Advanced setting and configuration dialog box, click the RTS
Threshold tab.
4. In the RTS Threshold box, enter a number between 100 and 2346.
5. Click OK.
