Fragmentation
Threshold
Output Power
Enter the fragmentation threshold, an integer from
256 to 2346. The default is 2346.
The fragmentation threshold is a way of limiting the
size of packets (frames) transmitted over the
network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation
threshold you set, the fragmentation function is
activated and the packet is sent as multiple 802.11
frames.
If the packet being transmitted is equal to or less than
the threshold, fragmentation is not used. Setting the
threshold to the largest value (2,346 bytes, which is
the default) effectively disables fragmentation.
Fragmentation involves more overhead because of
the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of
frames it requires, and because it increases message
traffic on the network. However, fragmentation can
help improve network performance and reliability if
properly configured.
Select the output power of the access point. If many
access points exist, lower power can reduce the
signal interference among them.
