Step 3. To the right of WMM No Acknowledgement, check the Enable checkbox to send data more efficiently but more errors might occur.

Step 4. From the Basic Rate drop-down menu, choose a rate at which the device can transmit.

- 1-2 Mbps — This option works best with older wireless technology.

- Default — This option transmits at all standard wireless rates.

- All — This option transmits at all wireless rates.

Step 5. If the Wireless Network Mode is not N-Only, choose the data transmission rate from the Transmission Rate drop-down menu. The Wireless Network Mode can be set in Wireless > Basic Settings.

Step 10. In the Fragmentation Threshold, enter a value for the maximum size of a packet before it is broken into fragments for easier transmission.

Step 11. In the RTS Threshold field, enter a value for the Right-to-Send (RTS) Threshold which is the minimum size of a packet before the server starts to readjust the packet size.
