4.
Select
Wi-Fi > Options
.
5.
Set the Wi-Fi options:
•
Channel
. The Wi-Fi channel being used.
Best practice is to set the channel to
Auto
. The hotspot chooses the channel that
provides the least interference.
•
RTS Threshold
. The smallest packet size (in bytes) used by the Request to
Send/Clear to Send handshaking protocol.
Best practice is to use a value of 2347. If you are experiencing inconsistent data flow,
you can make minor changes to this value to try to alleviate the problem.
•
Fragmentation Threshold
. The largest allowable size (in bytes) for a packet.
If a packet is larger than the threshold, it is sent in multiple packets, which can affect
network performance. Keep this value as large as possible (up to 2346).
