Intra-BSS Traffic

This describes direct communication (not through the NWA) between two wireless 
devices within a wireless network. You might disable this kind of communication to 
enhance security within your wireless network.

RTS/CTS Threshold

In a wireless network which covers a large area, wireless devices are sometimes not 
aware of each other’s presence. This may cause them to send information to the AP 
at the same time and result in information colliding and not getting through.

By setting this value lower than the default value, the wireless devices must 
sometimes get permission to send information to the NWA. The lower the value, the 
more often the devices must get permission.

Preamble

A preamble affects the timing in your wireless network. There are two preamble 
modes: long and short.

 

If a device uses a different preamble mode than the NWA 

does, it cannot communicate with the NWA.
