There is an implicit tradeoff when enabling RTS

value you set.
Frag. Threshold—Enabling Fragmentation Threshold improves
efficiency when high traffic is flowing along the wireless network.
If your USB Client often transmits large files and you enable Frag.
Threshold, the mechanism will split the packet. Value can be set
from 256 to 1500.
