If the RTS/CTS value is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold value (see next), 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.

Note: Enabling the RTS Threshold causes redundant network overhead that could

negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.

6.2.4 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 ZyXEL Device 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.
