Field Name
Description
Network Mode
Allows you to optimize the performance of your wireless network
using one of the following options:
Mixed (factory default)
Allows the access point to interpolate with 802.11b, 802.11g, and
802.11n wireless client devices and minimizes interference with
nearby 802.11b wireless networks.
G Only
Locks data rates to 802.11g only rates. This will optimize
performance for these devices, but will limit the throughput of
802.11n clients and disallow 802.11b clients.
B/G Mixed
Locks data rates to 802.11b/g rates. This will optimize
performance for these devices, but will limit the throughput of
802.11n and 802.11b clients.
Basic Rate Set
Allows you to select the Basic Rate Set. Options are
Auto
and
ALL
.
CTS Protection Mode Allows you to manually control the protection mechanisms used to
operate with legacy clients (802.11b).
Auto (factory default)
Allows 802.11b/g/n cells to interoperate seamlessly.
Off
Will affect the throughput of the cell in the presence of 802.1b
clients.

Allows you to fix the data rate for wireless connections. The
following data rates are available:
Auto (factory default), 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps,
11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps,
and MCS 0-15 rates which are a function of channel width.
The rates available will be based on the Network Mode chosen
previously.
Note:
In the automatic mode, data rate is a function of signal
strength and signal quality.
