The mechanism of Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the efficiency when high  
traffic flows along in the wireless network. If your 802. Wireless LAN Adaptor often transmit  
large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the  
packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.  
Fragmentation  
Threshold  
RTS/CTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. If  
the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, users have to specify the packet size. The  
RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.. The  
default value is 2347.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent  
data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.  
Access Point  
You can set your 802.11g Wireless LAN USB Adaptor as an Access Point (AP). This
