Advanced Wireless Settings

The default advanced wireless settings usually work well. These settings should not be changed
unless you are sure it is necessary.
• WMM support: WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-
dependent information, like video or audio, will have a higher priority than normal traffic. For
WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM. The default is Disable.
(Not available in Client mode.)
• RTS Threshold: Request to Send Threshold. The packet size that is used to determine if it
should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection)
mechanism or the CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the CSMA/CD
transmission mechanism, the transmitting station sends out the actual packet as soon as it has
waited for the silence period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the transmitting
station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving station, and waits for the receiving station to
send back a CTS (Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data. The default is
2346.
