304 Check Point Safe@Office User Guide
currently receiving packets from another source, it sends back a CTS (Clear To Send)
packet, indicating that the station can send the IP packet. Try setting the RTS Threshold
parameter in the wireless network's advanced settings to a lower value. This will cause
stations to use RTS for smaller IP packets, thus decreasing the likeliness of collisions.
In addition, try setting the Fragmentation Threshold parameter in the wireless network's
advanced settings to a lower value. This will cause stations to fragment IP packets of a
certain size into smaller packets, thereby reducing the likeliness of collisions and
increasing network speed.
Note: Reducing the RTS Threshold and the Fragmentation Threshold too much can
have a negative impact on performance.
Note: Setting an RTS Threshold value equal to the Fragmentation Threshold value
effectively disables RTS.
I am not getting the full speed. What should I do?
• The actual speed is always less than the theoretical speed, and degrades with
distance.
• Read the section about reception problems. Better reception means better speed.
• Check that all your wireless stations support the wireless standard you are using
(802.11g or 802.11g Super), and that this standard is enabled in the station
software. Transmission speed is determined by the slowest station associated
with the access point. For a list of wireless stations that support 802.11g Super,
see www.super-ag.com.
