CTS/RTS and "hidden node problem"

Hey all I have my CTS/RTS value set to 2100. I recently changed the setup on the RBK752 to use a wired backhaul (15m CAT6a run). I've reduced 2.4Ghz power to 25% and 5Ghz power to 50%. I have ...

Do you happen to recall what the default value is for CTS/RTS? I'm happy to put this back to default to begin with and see how things pan out.

I would recommend 2347. If you have problems then try 64.

For wi-fi calling issues also try:

Thanks both.

Yesterday I tried 64 but I noticed some "funnies" with the network afterwards. Delays in sending WhatsApp messages from my phone, some weird WiFi printing issues. So I reverted it back to 2347. I'll keep an eye / a note / on how things go.

Mikey94025thanks for the links. Just to confirm that I have SIP ALG disabled (on both the Orbi and my Edge Router). I also have NAT set to "open" on the Orbi as my Edge Router has the NAT "enabled". I run both the Orbi and Edge Router in "Router Mode". I just chose to manually have the Edge Router configured (i.e. DHCP, WiFi, NAT, and so forth - all disabled).
