Send-Aggregates

The settings for frame aggregation are located here. 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.

With frame aggregation for WLAN, the frame is enlarged so that multiple Ethernet packets fit into it. This method shortens the waiting time between data packets and increases throughput. The overhead is reduced to release capacity for transmitting data.

However, the increasing length of the frames increases the likelihood that radio interference will make it necessary to retransmit packets. Furthermore, other stations must wait longer for a channel to become available, and they have to collect several data packets for transmission all at once. By default, frame aggregation is activated. This makes sense if you want to increase the throughput for this station and others on this medium are not important.
