these data rates to basic on the 5-GHz radio.

 

 

(Optional) Enter range or throughput to automatically

 

 

optimize radio range or throughput. When you enter

 

 

range, the wireless device sets the lowest data rate to basic

 

 

and the other rates to enabled. When you enter

 

 

throughput, the wireless device sets all data rates to basic.

 

 

(Optional) On the 802.11g radio, enter speed throughput

 

 

ofdm to set all OFDM rates (6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48)

 

 

to basic (required) and set all the CCK rates (1, 2, 5.5, and

 

 

11) to disabled. This setting disables 802.11b protection

 

 

mechanisms and provides maximum throughput for

 

 

802.11g clients. However, it prevents 802.11b clients from

 

 

associating to the access point.

 

 

(Optional) Enter default to set the data rates to factory

 

 

default settings (not supported on 802.11b radios).

 

 

On the 802.11g radio, the default option sets rates 1, 2, 5.5,

 

 

and 11 to basic, and rates 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 to

 

 

enabled. These rate settings allow both 802.11b and

 

 

802.11g client devices to associate to the wireless device’s

 

 

802.11g radio.

 

 

On the 5-GHz radio, the default option sets rates 6.0, 12.0,

 

 

and 24.0 to basic, and rates 9.0, 18.0, 36.0, 48.0, and 54.0

 

 

to enabled.
