is from 1 to 2347 bytes. The default value is 2347, which means that RTS is disabled. Fragmentation Threshold: Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets. If the size of the packet is larger than the fragmentation threshold, the packet will be fragmented into several packets. Too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the excessive packets. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes. Airtime Fairness: Airtime Fairness is a feature that boost the overall network performance by sacrifice a little bit of network time on your slowest devices. The relatively "slow" wifi speed devices can be slow from either long physical distance, weak signal strength, or simply being a legacy device with older technology. The setting takes away the monopoly in network time by the slower device (making the slower device even slower), dedicate and shift those processing time to the faster device to achieve better overall network performance. 5.1.4 Load Balance By restricting the maximum number of clients accessing the EAPs, Load Balance helps to achieve rational use of network resources. Figure 5-9 Load Balance Load Balance: Disable by default. Click ON to enable the function. After enabling it, you can set a number for maximum associated clients to control the wireless access. Maximum Enter the number of clients to be allowed for connection to the EAP. The Associated Clients: value ranges from 1 to 99. 5.2 Portal Portal authentication enhances the network security by providing authentication service to the clients that just need temporary access to the wireless network. Such clients have to log into a web page to establish verification, after which they will access the network as guests. What's more, you can customize the authentication login page and specify a URL which the newly authenticated clients will be redirected to.
