such as 11 Mbps for 802.11b wireless clients.
RTS/CTS Threshold A group of wireless clients may experience difficulty communi-

cating with the Gateway without interrupting each other's communications. If this
occurs, the RTS/CTS threshold may be set to a higher number to allow them each a

switched to another wireless client wishing to transmit data.
• Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold may be lowered to
improve reliability in an excessively "noisy" wireless environment if changing channels
does not provide significant enough improvement.
