RTS Threshold: Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each
other. The RTS (Request to Send) mechanism can solve this "Hidden Node
Problem". If the packet size if smaller than the present RTS threshold size, the RTS
mechanism will NOT be enabled.
Fragment Threshold: In the 802.11 Standard, the MAC Layer may fragment and
reassemble directed data units. The fragmentation and defragmentation mechanisms
allow for fragment re-transmission.
Important:
Once all configurations have been completed, click OK. You will be reminded that a
