Fragmentation Threshold

A Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum data fragment size (between

256 and 2432 bytes) that can be sent in the wireless network before the AP

will fragment the packet into smaller data frames.

A large Fragmentation Threshold is recommended for networks not prone to

interference while you should set a smaller threshold for busy networks or

networks that are prone to interference.

If the Fragmentation Threshold value is smaller than the RTS/CTS value

(see previously) you set then the RTS (Request To Send)/CTS (Clear to

Send) handshake will never occur as data frames will be fragmented before

they reach RTS/CTS size.

Preamble Type

A preamble is used to synchronize the transmission timing in your wireless

network. There are two preamble modes: Long and Short.

Short preamble takes less time to process and minimizes overhead, so it

should be used in a good wireless network environment when all wireless

stations support it.

Select Long if you have a ‘noisy’ network or are unsure of what preamble

mode your wireless stations support as all IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless

adapters must support long preamble. However, not all wireless adapters

support short preamble. Use long preamble if you are unsure what preamble

mode the wireless adapters support, to ensure interpretability between the AP

and the wireless stations and to provide more reliable communication in ‘noisy’

networks.

Select Dynamic to have the AP automatically use short preamble when all

wireless stations support it, otherwise the AP uses long preamble.

Note: The AP and the wireless stations MUST use the same preamble

mode in order to communicate.

IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN

IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means

an IEEE 802.11b adapter can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access

point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g
