Preamble helps to synchronize sender and receivers clocks and also help to identify

the start of data. Setting the preamble type to long help to synchronize the clocks

more accurately, but it takes up bandwidth. Setting preamble to automatic is

highly recommended.

Fragmentation threshold specify the maximum data size before the data is been

fragmented. Refer to the tutorial

section on why we need to fragment data

packets.

Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) specify the maximum data size

before a RTS management packet is send out to the network requesting for

temporal usage of the network. That is, the host will get temporal maximum

bandwidth available to the network.

Setting the value to maximum (2346 and 2347 respectively) will disable the setting.
