In addition, try setting the Fragmentation Threshold parameter in the WLAN's
advanced settings (see Manually Configuring a WLAN on page 167) to a lower
value. This will cause stations to fragment IP packets of a certain size into smaller
packets, thereby reducing the likeliness of collisions and increasing network speed.
Note: Reducing the RTS Threshold and the Fragmentation Threshold too much can
have a negative impact on performance.
Note: Setting an RTS Threshold value equal to the Fragmentation Threshold value
effectively disables RTS.
I am not getting the full speed. What should I do?
• The actual speed is always less then the theoretical speed, and degrades
with distance.
• Read the section about reception problems. Better reception means better
speed.
• Check that all your wireless stations support the wireless standard you are
using (802.11g or 802.11g Super), and that this standard is enabled in the
station software. Transmission speed is determined by the slowest station
associated with the access point. For a list of wireless stations that support
802.11g Super, see www.super-ag.com.
