MCS Rate

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

 

 

802.11a/n/ac is selected in the Wireless Mode field.

 

 

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 Enabled to have the NWA use the data rate.

 

 

Clear the Enabled check box if you do not want the NWA to use the data rate.

 

 

Turn on the Auto option to have the NWA set the data rates automatically to optimize the

 

 

throughput.

 

 

Note: You can set the NWA to use up to four MCS rates at a time.
