Change the minimum bit rate
The access point automatically sends data at the lowest effective bit rate.
We recommend that you do not manually change the minimum bit rate. However, if
you understand the consequences, you can manually select a higher bit rate. Client
devices must either use the selected bit rate or a higher bit rate.
WARNING:
Be careful changing the minimum bit rate. If you set the bit rate too high,
some WiFi devices might no longer be able to connect to the access point.
