Receive-Aggregates

With this setting you configure the reception of aggregated data packets. Frame aggregation is an official standard and, according to the 802.11n standard, it is intended to be vendor-independent. It is comparable to the long-existing burst mode.

For frame aggregation, the device combines multiple data packets (frames) to a larger packet—by increasing the length of the WLAN frame—and sends them together. The method shortens the waiting time between data packets and also reduces the overhead, so increasing the data throughput.

However, with increased frame length, the probability increases that the device must resend the packets, for example, due to radio interference. Other stations must also wait for a free channel and collect their data packets until they have multiple packets that they can send at one time.

Frame aggregation is enabled in the factory settings. This option makes sense if you want to increase the throughput for your device and others on this medium are not important. Frame aggregation is not suitable when working with mobile receivers or real-time data transmissions such as voice over IP.
