Turn Guest Wi-Fi On And Off From The Mobile Hotspot Web Page - NETGEAR AirCard 797S User Manual

Best practice is to set the channel to Auto. The mobile hotspot chooses the channel
that provides the least interference.
9. Set the Wi-Fi bandwidth.
For 2.4 GHz you can set this to 20 MHz or 40 MHz. For 5 GHz, you can set this to 40
MHz or 80 MHz.
10. Leave the Wi-Fi Info on Home check box selected, to allow the Wi-Fi information
to be displayed on the mobile hotspot home screen .
11. Set the Wi-Fi range.
Selecting the Extended radio button expands the range of the mobile hotspot. This
setting uses more battery power than the Standard setting.
12. Specify advanced connection settings:
• 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).
13. Click the Save button.
A message displays to tell you that changing the Wi-Fi info will temporarily cause
connectivity loss.
14. Click the OK button.
Your settings are saved.
