Description
Enter the maximum number of WiFi clients that can simultaneously associate with
the radio. The range is from 1 to 200. The default is 64 WiFi clients.
Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The range is from 256 to 2346. The default
is 2346.
If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the radio uses the Carrier
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism and the data
frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger
than the RTS threshold, the system uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance
(CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting device sends the RTS packet
to the receiving device and waits for the receiving device to return a Clear to Send
(CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data.
