Set each data rate to basic or enabled, or enter range to
optimize access point range or throughput to optimize
throughput.
• (Optional) Enter 1.0, 2.0, 5.5, and 11.0 to set these data
rates to enabled on the 802.11b, 2.4-GHz radio.
Enter 1.0, 2.0, 5.5, 6.0, 9.0, 11.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 36.0,
48.0, and 54.0 to set these data rates to enabled on the
802.11g, 2.4-GHz radio.
Enter 6.0, 9.0, 12.0, 18.0, 24.0, 36.0, 48.0, and 54.0 to set
these data rates to enabled on the 5-GHz radio.
• (Optional) Enter basic-1.0, basic-2.0, basic-5.5, and
basic-11.0 to set these data rates to basic on the 802.11b,
2.4-GHz radio.
Enter basic-1.0, basic-2.0, basic-5.5, basic-6.0, basic-9.0,
basic-11.0, basic-12.0, basic-18.0, basic-24.0, basic-36.0,
basic-48.0, and basic-54.0 to set these data rates to basic
on the 802.11g, 2.4-GHz radio.
Note The client must support the basic rate that you select or
it cannot associate to the access point. If you select 12
Mbps or higher for the basic data rate on the 802.11g
radio, 802.11b client devices cannot associate to the
access point’s 802.11g radio.
Enter basic-6.0, basic-9.0, basic-12.0, basic-18.0,
basic-24.0, basic-36.0, basic-48.0, and basic-54.0 to set
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 access point sets the lowest data rate to basic
and the other rates to enabled. When you enter
throughput, the access point sets all data rates to basic.
• (Optional) Enter default to set the data rates to factory
default settings. This option is not supported on the
2.4-GHz, 802.11b radio.
On the 802.11g radio, the default option sets data rates 1,
2, 5.5, and 11 to basic, and data rates 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, and 54 to enabled. These data rate settings allow both
802.11b and 802.11g client devices to associate to the
access point’s 802.11g radio.
On the 5-GHz radio, the default option sets data rates 6.0,
12.0, and 24.0 to basic, and data rates 9.0, 18.0, 36.0, 48.0,
and 54.0 to enabled.
