Since changing to 2347, I haven't seen any issues since.
Most NG wifi defaults to these values on most of there products anyways:
| Fragmentation Length (256-2346): |

The values should be used as default setings and if users experience issues, then try making changes to the CTS/RTS values. Changing of the values is a valid troubleshooting step.
I guess we'll see if these values change upon next FW update.
