1b2b5b11b is an example of the data rate that may be displayed

Walk around the site to determine supported data rates, one AP at a time. In any location you may use the Right Arrow key to display the second best AP, arrow again to the third best, and so on to the fourth best. The Left Arrow key steps you back to the first best.

Each data rate (1,2,5.5, or 11Mb/s) that is supported by the AP is shown. Those rates that are in the Basic Rate set (sometimes referred to as “required” rates) are indicated by a ‘b’ following the rate number. The Supported and Basic data rate(s) should be the same on all APs as is appropriate for your environment.
