If you are experiencing inconsistent data flow, you can make minor changes to this value to try to alleviate the problem. • Fragmentation Threshold. The largest allowable size (in bytes) for a packet. If a packet is larger than the threshold, it is sent in multiple packets, which can affect network performance. Keep this value as large as possible (up to 2346). 12. Click the Save button. A message displays to tell you that changing the Wi-Fi info will temporarily cause connectivity loss. 13.
