— Automatic fallback according to the quality of the
connection, starting with 11 Mbps, going down to 5.5

Auto fallback 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps
— Automatic fallback according to the quality of the
connection, starting with 5.5 Mbps, going down to 2 Mbps
and 1 Mbps.
Auto fallback 2, 1 Mbps
— Automatic fallback according to the quality of the
connection, starting with 2 Mbps, going down to 1 Mbps.

Fixed 2 Mbps
— Sets the data rate to 2 Mbps.
