 Fragmentation

Length (256-2346):

 CTS/RTS Threshold

(1-2347)

 Preamble Mode:

 Transmit Power

Control:

A data packet that exceeds this value in length will be divided into multiple packets. The number of packets influences wireless network performance. Avoid setting this value low. Default at 2346.

When the length of a data packet exceeds this value, the router will send an RTS frame to the destination wireless node, and the latter will reply with a CTS frame, and thus they are ready to communicate.

The default value is 2347.

The preamble defines the length of CRC in wireless device communication. It is defined by the 802.11b High Rate/DSSS PHY. A short preamble adopts a 56-bit synchronization field, and is suitable for a high-traffic network.

A long preamble is mainly for improving the efficiency of a wireless network on real-time applications like streaming video and VoIP telephone.

Set the transmit power of router.

The default is 100%.
