additional parameters for the wireless Adapter.
We recommend using the default values for all
items in this window.
RTS Threshold (0-2347)
The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize
collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router
refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is
completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specic packet size threshold. The
default value (2347) is recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)
Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments)
that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting
a specic packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions
on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the
reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for
normal use.
Frame Bursting
Frame Bursting technology improves wireless network efciency and boosts
throughput.
PS Mode
Constantly Awake Mode (CAM), also known as Disable Power Saving Mode,
is a full powered state that yields the best performance. We recommend this
mode for devices running on AC power.
Power Saving Polling Mode (PSP Mode), which is also known as Enable
Power Saving mode, periodically wakes up the system to check if there is any
data being sent. We recommend this mode for devices running on battery
power.
