Fragmentation Threshold

Hello,

How can I change the Fragmentation Threshold in WING5/7?

Hello Chris,

Please see 2 different explanations:

• RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold determines the packet size that requires a Request To Send (RTS)/Clear To Send (CTS) handshake before sending. A low threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the wireless device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the access point but not other clients. Although a low threshold value consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the packet, frequent RTS packets can help the network recover from interference or collisions. Set the threshold by entering the packet size in bytes. Enter a value from 1 to 2347. The default value is 2347, which effectively disables RTS.

• Fragmentation Threshold: The fragmentation threshold is the frame length that requires packets to be broken up (fragmented) into two or more frames. Setting a lower value can reduce collisions because collisions occur more often in the transmission of long frames, which occupy the channel for a longer time. Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great deal of radio interference. Set the threshold by entering the frame length in bytes. Enter a value from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346, which effectively disables fragmentation.

My question is about Fragmentation Threshold but not about RTS Fragmentation Regards Aviv

Okay, you’re referring to the CTS/RTS threshold.

You can find this in the individual radio settings (radio-1 and radio-2)

Aviv, what traffic type are you wanting to adjust the fragmentation threshold?
