TRENDnet User's Guide
• RTS Threshold: The Request To Send (RTS) function is part of the networking
protocol. A wireless device that needs to send data will send a RTS before sending
the data in question. The destination wireless device will send a response called
Clear to Send (CTS). The RTS Threshold defines the smallest data packet size
allowed to initiate the RTS/CTS function.
Default Value: 2347 (range: 1-2347)
• Short Preamble: Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.
However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased
sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your
installation.
• Xpress™ Technology: A frame bursting technology used to improve wireless
performance. The feature will only work with other Xpress™ supported devices. It is
recommended to leave this feature On.
• MCS: Select the speed you would like your wireless network to operate.
Note: It is recommended to keep the default setting – Auto.

Create schedules

time period when a feature on your router should be activated and deactivated. Before
you use the scheduling feature on your router, ensure that your router system time is
configured correctly.
