Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor
reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
• RTS Threshold. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a
network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled.
The Gateway sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to
acknowledge the right to begin transmission. This value should remain at its default setting of 2346.
• Preamble Type. The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the Gateway
and a roaming wireless client. (High network traffic areas should use the shorter preamble type.) Select the
appropriate preamble type, Long (default) or Short.
• Network Density. This determines the Gateway's transmission and reception range. Select one of these
settings, Low (greater range), Medium (mid-range), or High (lower range). The Low setting is recommended
when you have few wireless networks in your area, while the High setting is recommended when you have a
lot of wireless network traffic in your area. You can also use the Medium setting if you want a mid-range
setting. The default setting is Low.
