|
|
| Rate Sets | Check the transmission rate sets you want the access point to support and the |
| |
|
| basic rate sets you want the access point to advertise. |
|
|
|
| Rates are expressed in megabits per second. |
|
|
|
| Supported Rate Sets indicate rates that the access point supports. You can |
| |
|
| check multiple rates (click a checkbox to select or |
| |
|
| automatically choose the most efficient rate based on factors like error rates |
| |
|
| and distance of client stations from the AP. |
|
|
|
| Basic Rate Sets indicate rates that the access point will advertise to the |
|
|
|
| network for the purposes of setting up communication with other APs and |
| |
|
| client stations on the network. It is generally more efficient to have an AP |
|
|
|
| broadcast a subset of its supported rate sets. |
|
|
|
| To support both "b" and "g" clients, change the radio Mode to IEEE 802.11g. The |
| |
|
| Web UI will automatically select the default Rate Sets that allow both "b" and |
| |
|
| "g" clients to connect. |
|
|
|
| To support only "g" clients, change the radio Mode to IEEE 802.11g. The Web |
| |
|
| UI will automatically select the default Rate Sets. Now add 24, 12, and 6 as Basic |
| |
|
| Rates. This will prevent "b" clients from connecting since they do not support |
| |
|
| these rates, but will allow "g" clients to connect since they are required by the |
| |
|
| standard to support these rates. |
|
|
|
| For more information, see description of "Mode" above in this table. |
