RTS Threshold – This sets the packet size threshold at which a
Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to the receiving
station prior to the sending station starting communications.
Devices contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of
each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this problem.
The larger the threshold, the faster the speed.
Fragment Threshold – Sets the minimum packet size that can
be transmitted from the adapter without being fragmented.
Fragmentation can increase the reliability of transmissions
because it increases the probability of a successful transmission
due to smaller frame size. The larger the threshold, the faster the
speed.
