6.2.2 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 WR3000 Wireless Router 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.
6.3 Confi guring Wireless
If you are confi guring the WR3000 Wireless Router from a computer connected to the wireless
LAN and you change the WR3000 Wireless Router’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you press Apply to confi rm.
You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the WR3000 Wireless
Router’s new settings.
