Installation Guide for the NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311T
• RTS/CTS Threshold: RTS is request to send and CTS is clear to send; their purpose is to
avoid collisions. RTS/CTS will be enabled if the data frame size is larger than the threshold
value set here. The maximum frame size is 2346 octets, so if the threshold is 2346, RTS/CTS
will be disabled.
Note: This setting is reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not
change this setting unless you are sure you need to. The primary reason for implementing
RTS/CTS is to minimize collisions between hidden stations. This occurs when users and
access points are spread out and a high number of retransmissions occur on the wireless LAN.
