DESCRIPTION

MCS Table

The MCS Rate table is available only when 802.11n/g or

 

802.11n/a is selected as the 802.11 Radio Mode.

 

IEEE 802.11n supports many different data rates which are called

 

MCS rates. MCS stands for Modulation and Coding Scheme. This

 

is an 802.11n feature that increases the wireless network

 

performance in terms of throughput.

 

For each MCS Rate (0-15), select either Enable (default) to have

 

the NWA use the data rate. Select Disable if you do not want the

 

NWA to use the data rate.

 

 

Select SSID Profile

Use this section to choose the SSID profile or profiles you want

 

access points using this radio profile to use. Each AP can use

 

multiple SSID profiles simultaneously.

 

Configure SSID profiles in the Profile Edit > SSID screens.
