RTS/CTS Handshake Control

Select either Enable or Disable. Select Enable to avoid data collisions, known as "Hidden Station" problem. When this is enabled, the station and its access point use the RTS/CTS protocol. The station sends an RTS signal to the access point, notifying that it is going to send the data. When the access point receives the RTS signal, it responds with a CTS signal to all stations within its range to require them to delay data transmission.

RTS/CTS Threshold Value

Specify the threshold (number of bytes) between 0 and 2347. Data with its frame size larger than this value performs the RTS/CTS handshake.

Roaming Function

Enables or disables the roaming function.

AP Density

To get the continuous connection of the same access point, select Low. When you select High, roaming around access points is made easy. The network interface switches to the other access point if it has a better radio wave condition.

Fragment Threshold

Select Enable and specify the packet size to use when you send large files. This improves the efficiency when there is high volume of traffic within the wireless network. Data is divided into packets of size you have set in the Fragment Threshold.

If you select Disable, data is sent as a whole.

Fragment Threshold Value

Specify a threshold for the fragmentation boundary: between 256 and 2346. Data is sent in pieces so that its size does not exceed this value.
