Okay I set everyone to 1024 as a test so far so good I don't see a lot of RTS CTS in the AP? when I tried this before I changed the AP to match what I changed the clients to and I got TONS more requests so I thought but I will leave it this way and see if anyone calls hehehe
As far as data rates does anyone turn auto fall back off and set everyone at 11 meg or how does everyone else do it. I think I have the aps set for auto fall back but client I have set to 11 meg thats it.I could be wrong ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 12:56 PM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Smartbridge APPO max client associations? You might be correct that 2347 is disabled. However, if all of your clients are using the standard ethernet MTU of 1500, then setting RTS to anything over 1500 will effectively disable RTS. Since no packets will ever be sent that exceed 1500 bytes, no RTS packets would ever be sent either. As for fragmentation, I leave it at 2346. I think it is mostly intended for areas where there is a lot of RF interferrence. In areas like this, it may be more effective to try to push smaller packets through than larger ones.
